    Taylor Pilch 09/09/2011 Overview: The purpose of this site is to provide an easy online educational website to help with learning and provide teaching games. The fun games use technology to teach kids. The intended audience is for Pre-K to 8th graders, but you have to sign up to use everything on the site, so it is primary for parents at the beginning. I did not find any resources on this website; it just contained things from the website that I could see. The overall impression of the website was that it could be really fun and helpful, but the fact that you have to sign up made me want to find somewhere else to go to that would be easier to start using. Content: As for the content, it was easy to tell what kind of content was in the site and who it was intended for. The information quality was good- the purpose was clear, it was organized and easy to use, and it seemed pretty reliable. On the other hand, I could not find an author of the site as well as information about the author. There was a place to contact them, but I did not see any names about who was in charge or anything like that. Also, I did not see any links to other websites or sources, which could be a bad thing. Design: Everything was clearly identified and you could find where you wanted to go without much difficulty. There was a copyright date and everything seemed to be in working order. It seemed current and the same format is used throughout the site.

    Ryan Pinkston January 22, 2011 1) Overview- "These online learning games and songs for kids are fun; teach important skills for preschool and elementary school kids and they're free. We've got educational games for kids in the following categories: Math Facts, Math Games, Language Arts, Science Songs, Animal and Nature Games, Word Games, Art and Music Games, Logic Games, Memory Games, Hand-Eye Coordination Games, Preschool Games, Keyboarding Games and Geography Games." 2) Content credible eval.- The user is able to determine the basic content and the intended audience for this site. There is no author identified nor is there any information about the other and you cannot tell who the sponsor is (possibly google or All Natural Alexia). There is an email contact that the user can use. The links to other sites are working properly and the last update was 2011. The purpose of this site is clearly stated, the site is well organized, information is easy to understand and is related to my needs/purposes. Grammar and spelling are correct. 3) Design Eval.- The home page is attractive, it is easy to find what you are looking for, it is somewhat easy to find how to get a hold of the provider and the copyright date is easy to find. It's easy to navigate around the site and the links provided are easy to use. The pictures and clips serve their purpose and there is definitely enough information to make the site worth visiting. 4) I would use this website in the classroom. It has a variety of games for a variety of subjects and the games are indeed educational and fun. I tried some of the games myself and they seem suitable for children.

    Overview: This website provides games for young learners to explore even before they reach classroom age and throughout the early elementary years. The website covers several subject areas including but not limited to Health, Spelling, Animals, Science, Math, Art, Geography, and Literature. The games are fun and challenging. Content: There are games for young learners that are both challenging and entertaining in a wide variety of topics. Each topic has sub topics and then a multitude of game options for that sub topic. There are illustrations of cartoons throughout the site. The author is not clearly identified but the sponsor is. The website links to other young children's websites and cartoon television shows. Design: The amount of subjects and then sub-subjects is outstanding. The entire website is geared towards young children which is not only seen through the illustrations but also through the advertisements. The games are easy to get into the first time but after you have gone into one of them it is difficult to get back out to the website's main menu. While it has links for the subjects it doesn't have links such as home, about, contacts that may be helpful additions. A copyright is not readily available. The directions for the games are clear and concise.
