  I have let my own 4 year old son use www.pbskids.org, www.dailynoggin.com, and www.playhousedisney.com to increase his knowledge for preschool skills and to help him form his ability to comfortably use the computer and mouse. I think pbs and noggin tend to be the better two of the three. I am considering using these sites as I teach to do low level reinforcement activities in my kids free time (if there is any) instead of drills or worksheets. I would use the phone dialing game in the Curious George section of the PBSKids site, and certain games. Disney has some learning directed activities, but there are a lot of links that carry the child to something not suited for the classroom, like racing games or princess stuff. I probably wouldn't choose to use Disney site in a classroom setting. What sites would you recommend?

  I use pbskids.org in my classroom but not the others. There are so many wonderful sites for young children. I try to find sites that they don't use at home and I think disney and nogging and nick sites are used a lot after 3 pm!
