Ben Lebeda on 15 Sep 11Ben Lebeda primarygames.com 9/14/11 Overview: My impression of this site is that it is more focused more on games and advertising than on education. It did have different sections dedicated to different subjects, but the games were way easier to access than the educational content, which turned out to be only made up of educational games. This website was clearly designed for young users and not ideally suited for use in a classroom. Content: The basic content of this site was indeed easy to determine, as it was predominantly games, which means that the intended audience is students. The site seemed to be a collection of games, some of which could be educational. It was unclear what exactly the purpose of this site was, as it consisted mainly of games. There were much more non-educational games available on this site than educational games, which is obviously not a good thing when looking at potential websites for in class use. Design: This website certainly was an attention-getter, with all the bright colors and advertisements for games. There was a navigation bar on the top of the website, but all the pages appeared to be the same, as every page had games on it. There were also numerous advertisements, which at times were distracting and made the website very colorful and flashy. It was also a little unclear as to how often the site was updated. -
Allie Litch on 15 Sep 11Overview: this website provides different visual aids for several different subjects. It seems to be age appropriate for my elementary aged students. There are games and videos which would help support what I am teaching and I think the students would enjoy them. Content: This website contains many subjects such as science, social studies, math and many more. It is very bright and makes learning fun for the kids. It would be a great tool to use in the classroom to support what the students are learning. It could also be a useful learning tool at home. The website is perfect for elementary aged students it is easily navigated and easy to use. Design: The website is very well designed. The subjects are clearly separated and would be easy for students to choose what they want or need to look at. I feel it would be a great tool for my classroom in the future. -
Candace Rose on 15 Sep 11Overview This is another good site to send home with parents. It is simplistic and easy to use without too many hassles. It also has many games that children can enjoy playing. It is appropriate for many grade levels so it will transfer well to different classrooms and students. The variety of games give students many options. Content The content is nicely organized and easy to see as well as to decide what to do. The content is appropriate for all most elementary student and have a way to review. There is a variety of different games for students to play that use math in different creative ways. Design The design of this site is wonderful. They use colors to highlight sections and show different ideas. All of the colors are bright and stand out very nicely. The site is well organized offering many different categories for games. The games are not sorted by grade level of idea but they are easy to find because there isn't tons of games to sort through. The level of the games vary and most seem appropriate for students to play. The bright colors continue throughout the site. -
Kayla Goldy on 19 Sep 11-Overview: This website is very visually appealing and child friendly. There are lots of colors and graphics on the homepage and lots of different things that children would be excited to click on and see. The website is mainly made for children to play educational computer games and learn new things. It is centered on primary grade levels and their educational experiences. There are different resources for children to learn new things and the backgrounds are based on the seasons and holidays. -Content: On this website there is a ton of different games under each subcategory and has various types of games under each subject. They are all tailored to primary level children and are easy for them to play and learn. There are things for the students to print out and various puzzles and other games that the students can access on this website. I am not sure of the content of all the games if they are all educational, but just having the matching and certain aspects of not academic games is still important for a child's development. -Design: This website has a lot of colors, large print, and pictures. It is tailored for young children so they are able to navigate the page on their own and can learn to recognize the colors and words. The website divides the games up by subject and then lists them after you click on the subject which is good so that parents and teachers can help the students focus on things that they need to work on even if it is through a game like this. It also makes it easy for teachers and parents to see the different things that are offered to the child to play and it is good for the child to learn to recognize and read these words. They all have pictures or clip art with them so that even if the child cannot read the word they can tell what it is by looking at the pictures.
