This blog began with many examinations of web resources (in the 9-years-ago pre-iPad era) and how their interactive, visual, and educationally relevant content also was very language-based (Speechie, forming the basis of the FIVES criteria). Simple web activities remain a great way to elicit language around a curriculum topic; when analyzing sites we can look for those that foster descriptive/defining, sequential, cause-effect or conditional language.

Interactive Sites For Education is currently undergoing many updates but remains the best compendium of sites that can be used on laptops, desktops or Chromebooks (not iPad, as many are Flash-Based). Look to the site along with your creativity to find resources useful for targeting many concepts and language underpinnings within curriculum topics. For example, under Social Studies, and the subtopic of Calendar, this very useful resource from Starfall is linked:
The interactive allows you to use a functional calendar and identify key dates and decorate the month with seasonal images--time concepts are critical as concepts, connect to categories, and also relate to executive function.
Explore- be aware that as websites are jumping from Flash to other resources, some of the links may not work. I found the Flash resources worked in my Safari Browser on Mac, but Chrome presented some problems and so I
installed the extension Flash Embed.
As another compendium of interactive websites (archive and "mine" the above if involved in telepractice as well) I also recommend the
UEN Interactives collection.
Thank you for sharing such an interesting site where you can engage in education especially for children. When I was a teenager, I also learned languages with the help of special applications. It seems to me that it is better to study and pass everything on your own, as this affects the level of education you will eventually receive. If you do not have time or cannot write on your own, then perhaps you should change your occupation. Recently, I was told that you can learn languages in an interesting application and suggested reading duolingo reviews where many people talk about their experience of learning languages. I studied English and German there, but I want to try to start learning Chinese.
ReplyDeleteYes, really, using Interactive Sites for Education makes study more enjoyable. These sites offer fun ways to learn and practice new skills. Sometimes, writing essays can still be a challenge. That’s when I turn to cheap custom essay services for help. They make it easier for me to focus on other subjects. With these tools, my studies are much more easier.
