Kids History - 0 views

  •  
    Overview: This site was created to provide information on history as well as provide interactive games that can help students learn. It took a minute to realize but this site is linked with a chain of sites that cover several different topics such as, (www.kidsgeo.com and www.kidsnumbers.com ), which are all located within the KidsKnowIt Network. The intended audience was a little unclear and the topics were very broad. It was also unclear to who created site and I couldn't find a link to tell me who I could ask questions if I did have any. Overall this site would be hard to use in my opinion, but could be useful for someone who is unable to obtain textbooks with certain information. Content and Design: The content of the site was interesting and presented so in a textbook style. There were several different areas students could learn about ranging from Prehistoric Humans to the American Revolution. The design was easy to follow despite its many components. There was a slight lag time for pages to load which was a slight inconvenience. The content and design were well thought but could of used a more simplistic approach.

US Constitution - 0 views

  •  
    Overview: This website was created to provide information about the US Constitution. The site provides good information and its target audience is for k-3. Although the site does provide links for grades 4-7 and 8-12. These links are very nice to have as they are grade pertinent and go in more depth as the grade level increases. A teacher could have a student that is more advanced or even more interested in the topic use one of the other links to gain more knowledge and peak their interest. Overall I think the site could be very useful to cover the constitution and what it entails. Content and Design: The content that the site provides is grade level appropriate and very interesting. The scheme of the site was easy to follow navigate. It also had several pictures to help keep the interest of the learners. The way information is provided is clever as it provides and introduction then has a nice summary on how it all works. The site did provide pages for questions and even had a forum for people to look at and talk with each other on.

E-Learning - 0 views

  •  
    Overview: This website was created to provide educational games that kids can interact with. The intended audience is for k-6th grade. There are many different games that the site provides and the topics are easy to understand. I enjoyed the broadness of the site. It had several different games for each grade level and topic. You could play a different game every day during a week which to me helps the learning not seem so monotonous. Overall I think this site could be very useful for a k-6th grade teacher or possibly even higher grades depending on student's levels of learning. Content and Design The amount of information provided by the site was amazing. The site was able to cover all of the basic learning areas and to do so with many different and still interactive ways. The design of the site was easy to follow but the games were brought up inside a pop-up window which was a slight inconvenience and allowed for you to get lost easily. Although the site is made by volunteers it does provide contact links and gives links for sites that could also be helpful.
