This blog has been designed to share fun and engaging websites I have found. As an Educator and a Parent I like to provide opportunities for children to develop learning skills and have fun while developing skills using technology.

I have included resources and ideas which parents can use at home to assist in providing their children with fun and educational activities.

Learning Sight Words

2:45 AM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
Here is a great free software you can download from Quiz Tree.  It appears on your desktop.  Three words appear and you hear one of the words spoken, so you then click that word.  The game provides levels of sight words such as preprimer, primer, first grade, second grade and third grade.
A great way for early readers to practice their sight words.

Dinosaur Train

4:50 PM Posted In , , Edit This 0 Comments »




Dinosaur Train is a great interactive site which both informative and fun. It is on PBS Kids and based on the TV show created by The Jim Henson Company. This is a great site for younger children who are interested in dinosaurs or if they are learning about them at school.

The site offers several activities such as games called Pteradon Fishing, Hungry, Hungry, Herbivore and How Big are you?



The Field Guide allows children to learn about different dinosaurs by selecting them and listening to facts about them, see their bones, see how larger they are in relation to a child and find out whether they are a herbivore, omnivore or carnivore.






There are also colour-in sheets to print out and videos to watch.

This is a great way for children to learn more about dinosaurs, learn different word meanings and improve their computer skills.

This is a fun site where you can convert text into graffiti style wrting and manipulate colours. It is great for writing your name or a heading or title for an assignment. It could be used to make a sign for the kid's bedroom.

Activity Village

If you are looking for ideas to keep the children busy and entertained then this is the site for you. Activity Village provides a range of activities and printable resources. Content is regularly updated and of good quality. I particularly like the colouring pages because the graphics are great and they cover many themes.

Kerpoof

This is another great site which allows children to explore their creativity. It offers options to make a picture, a movie, a card, a story, make a drawing and doodle. It is easy and fun to use.

Story Maker

Help kids develop their imagination and develop their story telling skills with Story Maker. The site offers characters you can choose from and provides settings and objects. As you add items to the scene, a story is written at the bottom. When you have finished your story it is converted into a virtual book which you can share on the site or print out.
