Education is part of life. It should be fun and challenging... not boring. Children should learn while they are playing. It is impossible to imagine any educational or professional experience without using typing. This skill can be very successfully learnt if it is taught when children are pretty little. I tried this activity with my little son, niece and nephew they find it interesting to try typing the words correctly and quickly. Frequently they failed but tried again and again to insure they could make it.

These exercises are good for developing students' listening, reading, and writing skills. In addition to these skills, it also develops students' vocabulary. While listening and watching the songs or a video poem, the students will have opportunity to write down the missing words in a given space and later on check the answers. I used this type of exercises with my students and to tell the truth they liked them very much. This type of exercises can be used at the end of the lesson or in the middle of it, when teacher notice some boredom during the lesson. They play as a good refresh. After listening the song, the teacher may discuss it with students (as I did) or even translate. There are also some words at the end of each song and students may learn them as well.

This is a really cool activity that helps improve your typing skills of English. I tried it myself and it really helps.

Alice is a bot (robot) with A.I. (artificial intelligence). You can chat with her, and she'll speak back to you. She never gets bored or tired of talking with you. She can answer math questions, tell you where most countries are and what their capitals are,and she even knows a few pretty funny jokes. She at times makes mistakes, but overall performs very well. She can understand you a lot better if you type carefully. Your students can chat with Alice to practice English, but they have to try to type and spell carefully. They need to take their time, and think about good grammar, good vocabulary and making good sentences. They can use their conversation as a practice time to apply what they have learned in English. You can chat with Alice anytime. The first 2500 exchanges each month have more animation and even have speech. I tried chating with her for half an hour and I should confess that I fell in love with her! She can nicely initiate discussions or answer your questions. A great tool to both practice language and also learn new things from her.

This is a good game for practicing comparatives. Students will see the adjectives and write the comparatives. They will see their score at the end.

These flashcards can be used for teaching children animals

These are flashcards of animals. They are colorful and funny. I'm completely sure kids will like them

When I was doing my practicum in EEC I really had problems in finding good flashcards. The problems was that in order to find a picture of a particular animal, I had to type the animal's name (eg.lion, cat) and then choose on of them, then change the size (make it bigger or smaller) and this process took me a long time. When I found this site I was very happy because they are very funny and colorful and there are approximately 10-15 animal picture that I can print immediately without searching them long or changing the size.
