WEBSITE EVALUATIONS

Title: Funbrain Site URL: @http://www.funbrain.com/grammar/index.html

Comments:This website is a perfect website reference for elementary level teachers to refer their students to if they are looking for a curriculum based game site. I found certain games that relate to my major. They all seemed very interesting. I actually played some of them and Gorilla Grammer was both very helpful and fun! There are so many games to choose from not just about grammar but about sentence structure, alphabet and rhyming. In the classroom during stations, having your students getting used to the computer and playing educational games at the same time. The only limitations on this site is it would be hard to contact the website owners because they take you to too many different pages.

This website would very much appeal to kids. I agree with Alyssa's assessment that the games our not only useful but fun. The only downfall to the site might be navigation. It might be difficult for kids to know exactly where to go when they visit this site because there are so many choices and advertisements. If a teacher were to use this site in class, I think that it would be beneficial to have a specific plan so that the kids can follow along step by step. However, if the class is having activity time then the site becomes much more suitable. Another nice thing about this site is that it has links for not only students but parents and teachers. They bring a lot of dimensions together. Overall, I very much enjoyed this site. *D3

Title: Scholastic Site URL: @http://www.scholastic.com/kids Comments:This website supports teaching and learning fully due to the site being centered around teaching children. The site has a writing center for students which relates to the language arts department, and it has different topics that kids can write about and they can also submit and share their writing with other kids on the site. There also are alot of educational games to choose from.You can use this in your classroom with your students if you are writing about certain topics and kids need to brainstorm and share with other kids not only in their classroom but around the world. There were no limitations to this site it is a very well organized and thought out website.
