Put The Passion Back In Reading!
 "Free Children Stories is a great tool to help parents teach their children,
and is great for adding to your existing language arts curriculum.
These stories are short and simple, yet endearing. They are like the
books I grew up reading, books that made you want to read, that
fostered a love for reading! This site is really easy to navigate,
making it easy for kids to use with little or no help."
|
Interesting Culinary Facts and History!
 "The
historical information on The Food Timeline made this site usable for any
projects we are working on, even if they weren't directly related to
food. For example, Christopher Columbus's cuisine is available for
study along with the cuisine of the Vikings. Why would I include this
in our history lessons? Because it makes it easier for my children to
learn by allowing them to use their imaginations and pretend they are
back in that era."
|
Build Your Eco-Friendly Home Online!
 "This
is a free, flash-based tool for kids that teaches them how to create an
environmentally friendly home by allowing them to create their own
abodo. It walks you through the steps of building a virtual green home.
MyAbodo allows you to choose and customize various parts of the house
while learning about the environmental impact of each choice."
|
Visual Learning and Presentations!
 "Jing
is much more than a simple visual. You can capture videos of what you
are doing right from your monitor. You can 'film' offline/online videos
and capture nearly anything that shows up on your computer with Jing.
It allows captions, highlights, and arrows on the screenshots as well.
Jing's video allows music to be added, narratives, or no sound at all.
You can post it in blogs, on websites, in an email link, and more! This
is a great tool for visual presentations of any kind."
