A Database For Kids
KidsKnowIt.com has a database for kids. It's a free children's learning network. The different categories it teaches are: The Human Body, Outer Space, Dinosaurs, Geography, History, Math, Spelling, Memory, Geology, and Chemistry. The children will want to use it for fun, not even realizing how much they will be learning in the meantime! The NETS they will be acheiving are: Creativity and Innovation, Communication and Collaboration, Digital Citizenship, and Technology Operations and Concepts. The only disadvantages I could see, would be not enough computers in the classroom, or not enough time for all of them to be able to use it each day!

ReplyDeleteYou worry a lot about kids not having enough time to work on the computer each day or having enough computers for everyone. What are ways that you can think of to overcome or "work around" these perceived obstacles? There are numerous classrooms that only have one computer, yet they are able to integrate technology.
