Great Web Sites Ideas

Many parents have asked me for ideas regarding helping their children's learning. The only answer I can give is that the learning must be something that the child's finds both fun and interesting, with a purposeful outcome.

Webquests are an interesting way of assisting your children's learning. They work by providing a child an authentic task to completed by stepping them though activities. Most of the sourcing of information is already supplied by links on the website.

Here is one I found about space where the children are an astronaut on a mission to another planet in our solar system. You will join a crew to gather information about your destination. When you become experts, you will voyage to this planet. After exploring it, you will contact Mission Control on Earth by cyber postcard to communicate your impressions and data.

Best of all the children can do webquests without little supervision

This website http://tutpup.com/ I have introduced into the classroom's programme.It is fun and has different levels for maths and spelling. For maths it helps the children with Basic facts because they are competing against the time and a real person somewhere in the world. The web site is very secure.
