Educational Website for MEDT 7462


Kids Know It

One website that I think is very useful is the Kids Know It Network. The site has many interactive games, movies, and even music. It is a site that allows students to self select according to their interests or teacher assignment. Links to other sites bring students on a real journey of understanding. I have used this for building background knowledge and student research while investigating the planets, constellations, and moon phases. The kids love it and don't want to leave the computer lab.

Jumanji Math

Students read Jumanji and roll dice to decide the "likelihood" of Judy rolling the needed 12 to end the game. Later, they make a graph showing the data collected.
