http://funschool.kaboose.com/ is a website that contains games for school aged children. The first page shows clearly how the site is organized and how to get all items. On the bottom of the page, you will find the type of audience this site is for. It is geared towards kids, and the games are by grade levels. The grade levels start from Pre-school to 6th grade. Its games contain Math, Language Arts, Science, and History. In most of the games, it shows the objective/goal of the game. Once you get to the games, you will find graphics, animation, and sounds that make an important contribution to the chosen game. The level of content and vocabulary are appropriate for intended audience. The site has a consistent, common look and feel across pages. Each supporting page has a link back to home page; it is found on the bottom of the page. One of the negative sides of this site that I noticed there is no updated time written anywhere. Pages load quickly except when there is an advertisement between games. If you like poetry and you want your children or students to learn some more by browsing the internet, then the following site will be useful for you.
http://gigglepoetry.com/ is the second web page that I evaluated. It’s about poetry and different styles to become a “giggle poet” by Bruce Lansky. The main point of this site is to promote poetry among children. The level of content and vocabulary are appropriate for intended audience. It shows different types of poems such as “Love Poems”, “School Activities Poems,” and other funny poems. Besides getting the audience to read the poem, they get to participate in what is called the Giggle Meter. It is a fun thing to do because you get to rate how funny a poem is to you. It contains links to sites they like too. Their links lead you to more poems. The pages are simply and attractively designed and make a user want to read them. Their navigation system is great. Pages load quickly, they have simple, consistent navigation scheme for quick, easy navigation. It provides with email address, phone number, address, and fax number as to contact. In this site you will see advertisements for books published by Meadowbrook Press and some ads by Google on top of the page.
Finally, http://www.netrover.com/~kingskid/108.html is another educational site. The title given to this page is “Room 108” by John Rickey who is the primary teacher. This web page is geared towards primary children. Music, Social Studies, Games, writing, and Art are some of the icons you can access. Information is interesting, informative, and worthwhile. In the music link, it shows you piano lessons that are easy to follow. The Graphics, animations, videos and sounds make an important contribution to the learning process. The pages load quickly. Icons have been well chosen to represent the information they link to. The author John Rickey is clearly identified on the front page. It doesn’t state when it was last updated. You can contact the author vial email.
You might find these sites helpful to use with your children or students. Just give it a try, it is just a click away.
