Overview: The purpose of this site is focused on entertainment, although some educational games (especially early education) are available. Based on the content and design, it is quite clear that this site is for children. There are many different recourses that are also available for children. At the end of some games, additional links to games of the same genre are given for further entertainment. The site also includes videos, pictures, blogs, as well as a news section designed with information that would be appealing to children Content: This site is designed to entertain kids with many different options in each category provided. Each category contains many subcategories to narrow the search of entertainment. I also find that throughout the material provided, preschool category provides a majority of the educational entertainment. The remaining categories may include educational material but focuses on humor or "top news" of young celebraties. Design: This website has an appropriate amount of eye appeal. Although the background of the site is white, the many different categories and links are abundant in color and graphics. The blue "goop" encompassing the title immediately attracts the imagination of children and encourages creative thinking. Also, each category is age appropriate. I found nothing that would be unsuitable or baleful for young minds.

Overview: The purpose of this site is unclear at first, though this could be due to the fact that the site is UK based. The site is a "national grid learning" that gives various learning sites for various age groups. Because it is not US based, it does not follow the same dialect which makes it more difficult to navigate through. The home page is clearly indented for parents/teachers/adults. It lacks any sort of eye appeal and seems fairly boring. There is an abundant amount of resources for different age groups including many different languages. But again, these are difficult to follow. Content: Overall, I assume the site works well for its intended purpose. There are many different options for people, but the information is difficult to follow. For my specific purposes, the site is usable but I would not refer to this site again in the future. Design: The design of this site bores me. Even as a parent or teacher, the site doesn't give much of a reason to continue browsing when starting at the home page. The games themselves seen to be entertaining enough but could still use work on gaining the interest of a child.

Overview: The purpose of this site is to help elementary-aged students learn and play on an educational website that is 100% free (In the "ABCya! Story" it explains that one of the authors main goals was to ensure that education using technology could be accessed for free). The content is directed specifically to Grades K through 5 and has many different resources for each level. Overall I was very pleased with this site! It is completely kid friendly in everything from design, to easy navigation. Young children may not know how to open and close new pages on a normal website and this author took that into consideration. Content: This website is chuck-full of information! For each grade (K-5) there are subjects concerning letters, numbers, "more", holidays, and fun pages. Each subject has many different activities for many different kinds of learners. Because each additional site is age appropriate, its very easy for users to find information specific to their needs. There is also a tab for parents and teachers at the bottom of the page indicating what is needed for the site as well as directions on how to use the site to its full potential. Design: The design of this website is perfect for its audience! Focusing on grades K-5, the bright colors and crazy animation exhibit strong eye appeal. The website is also very easy to navigate through. You can first begin with a specific grade, and then each grade breaks into specific categories. You can also easily find information at the bottom on the page concerning parents and teachers. It is obvious that each user can easily find their way around this website according to their specific needs.
