eLearning4kids is a fun interactive site where kids ages 4-12 can find engaging lessons in a variety of subject areas. Children can choose from math, language arts, science, computer, health & life, as well as English language lessons. The lessons are organized introduced with a short interactive instructional unit followed by guided and interactive practice in a gaming format. Buttons are incorporated to allow the learner to navigate forward and go backward in the site if they’d like to practice or see something again. The site is composed of bright, colorful, and stimulating media including a variety of sounds and music.
This is a wonderful site to add to your primary e-learning toolkit. It allows students the freedom to choose something they are interested in. Directions are clear and friendly characters act as hosts to guide you through each learning and game activity. Each subject area has a wide variety of instructional games to choose from and cover age appropriate scope and sequence labeled by age level. You can practice everything from addition and subtraction, to place value, to putting words together using phonics or compound word parts. The computer section covers topics such as keyboarding lessons and Internet safety tips. You can find a wealth of information in the health and life section about topics such as the blood, brain, kidneys and more.
I would use this Web 2.0 tool as an additional option for practicing skills in and out of the classroom. Since the site is housed on the web, students and parents can access it for free at home or anywhere there is an Internet connection. Links within the site seem to be carefully connected and monitored to ensure the safety of young users while on the site. This site is a home run! It’s a great asset for teachers, students, and parents alike!
