Another site I used was Instructional Architect. I found a interactive game on epa.gov through IA. It showed the water cycle. The reason I liked this site was because there was not a lot of reading that the child needed to do. Most of it was spoken and the instructions were clear. Also, on Instructional Architect I found a counting game that would be PERFECT for first grade. The link is http://home.earthlink.net/~cmalumphy/countinggame.html if you want to try it!

Interactive websites
So it took a little while to find some sites because I am doing first grade, but I found some good ones. The first one that I really enjoyed was the NASA website. On the site, you can click on "for students" and then "k-4." They are many games including ones that involve buzz lightyear. Another thing that I thought would be fun for any of these students is they have a place where you can enter your name, and then the rover that launches next year will carry it on a microchip. It would be exciting for a student to know that his name is on the planet Mars.

I also liked the NASA website I thought that they were really good at having activities for all grade levels. I didn't look on the Instructional Architect site but it sounds like you found some good things on it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't look at those two sites, but I really like how it's so easy to find good sites to do this on. I love the idea that we can use these in our classrooms.
