Educational Value: This
web site offers young children to chance to choose activities that they would
be interested in. The have to click on
a character from Sesame Street and they lead them through a series of different
games, activities, and books. The neat
thing about this site is that the students could actually email one of the characters
with a question and they would get a reply the following day. The page also asks the children to count
along when a particular activity is loading.
They keep the child involved in their own learning.
Comments: I found this site to be an excellent resource for young students. Most times, they are very familiar with the characters from Sesame Street. I could imagine that you would have to pull the students away once they get started. This is a good way for them to do some fun and exciting activities!
