Sarah Lindstrom on 16 Oct 12Sarah Lindstrom October 15, 2012 Overview The purpose of this website was also to help elementary students practice telling time and it would be useful for elementary teachers as well giving them ideas for activities having to do with telling time. This website has games and worksheets about telling time as well. This website has good activities for students to do to practice telling time. In my WebQuest I specifically used a game about being able to read analog clocks and it is a fun way for students to learn because you are trying to do the game as fast as possible which appeals to young kids, they always love to race. It is not hard to find the activities for students to do. Content The content was of a good quality and it had to do with telling time. It was a somewhat interactive website because it provides games for students to play about telling time. The website in well organized and it is easy to find multiple activities for kids to do. The website was updated this year, so the information is still relevant and ok to use. The author was not specifically mentioned on the website, but there is an email address you can email if you have questions about the website. Design This websites homepage wasn't extremely exciting to look at, but it did very nicely have all the activities listed so you could click on them with one touch of the mouse. The one game I used for my WebQuest had sounds which make playing the game more fun. The website was easy to navigate and it had relevant information pertaining to telling time. In order to use some of the activities on the website you have to download or purchase a CD. This design might make some teachers not want to use this site especially if it costs them money.
