Technology Reflection

This tool www.pbs.org/kratts is great for animal adventure, the world, the environment, garbage and recycling, air and water, and plants and animals. This site encourages children to become friends and fimiliar with animals, introduces wild life, and encourages excitement for learning about the world around them. It is such a fun site to see and explore for teachers, students and parents. It's fun cause it becomes each of the students own site and keeps them interested because of all the different things that are offered, music, and creature exploration. There are fun quizzes, games, spots lights, daily challenge, videos and shows and photo galleries. This tool is a great tool for other great pbs links. I came across pbskids.org, which is also full of so many great things for kids also. They are both so bright, fun and flashy for the children. They are great and offer so much.

With this site it provides so much educational research for the students, but also some great stuff and different links and tools for teachers and parents. It offers some great activities and games to help improve their knowledge also. It has a link for teachers and students to ask questions for their own knowledge or to help answer questions for their students. It provides very informative resources about their site to read and see why this site is so great.

This site is so great, which makes it kind of hard to find some cons, but with these sites mentioned, it may require parents help for younger children in order to use this site. Because it offers so many things it may be a bit confusing for first time users, or younger viewers. With these tools children and maybe even teachers and parents might even get distracted while being on this site, it may take longer to accomplish what needs to be done in the first place. It's a fun and adventurous website.
