Websites
for the Infants School
When
teaching Yrs 1 and 2 about ways to use web browsers I find these
websites very useful. The students stay motivated while they learn
how to log into the network, use a web browser and discuss how
we can learn with the Internet. The websites also reinforce some
of the concepts dealt with in class.
Create
a Graph - is a simple interface for young students to make and print out
their own professional looking graphs.
Coolmath4kids
- Encourage your students to explore Math Games area of the site and report back
to the group what they find. Highlights include: Rush, Connect 4 and the 3D Maze.
BBC
for Schools - I use the 'Words and Pictures' activities in the 'Literacy'
section but there are many other fantastic resources here.
BBC
for Children - All sorts of interesting things here as well as a few pointless
games that the students are drawn to :) - Great opportunity to discuss 'appropriate
educational resources'.
Little
Fingers - a collection of interactive online games. Great for discussion
of 'pointless clicking' and evaluation of resources. Plus you can discuss Americanisms
if you are from outside the US.
Yahoo
for Kids
- lots of 'kid culture', but a nice child friendly search engine that often delivers
child friendly search results.
Kidsclick
is categorised into areas of student interest. My students loved the
art tools.
Jackson
Pollock- Here is a great little end of lesson activity. The kids love it and it is
great to challenge their views on Art from an early age.
Starfall
- A variety of free phonics activities and interactive talking books. I'm always
surprised how much the students get into this site.
