Safe+Websites+for+Students

Elementary School websites need to offer students a reliable, safe and fun resource for learning through the use of the Internet. By teaching students to use their school website as a major source of reference we are introducing Internet safety to them. The websites listed below have recently been used to encourage student growth in computer skills and other areas of learning.

[] This website ABC YA helps students better understand the concepts of input and output devices of computers. This has been used with 3 groups of students and it was very successful.

[] This link offers Computer Vocabulary in a fun, interactive way for young students.

[] Make a Pizza, also from ABC YA, this link allows young students to create their own pizza with a variety of toppings. The catch; the kids think this is fun but for our very young students (Pre-K and Kindergarten) they need this game to learn mouse manipulation skills.

[] Make a House, also from ABC YA, this link allows young students to build a house while also practicing those mouse manipulation skills.

[] Keyboard Challenge is also from ABC YA. This game would be great for our older elementary school students. They get to choose their own design of keyboard, allowing some creativity. The object of the game is that they have to put all the keys back in their correct place.
