Computer time can be learning time with the proper choice of educational children’s websites. "Edutainment" websites provide creative games and problem solving activities. These sites encourage thoughtful responses from participants, rather than focusing on keyboarding skills or lucky guesses. There are several quality sites for children which are designed for specific age groups and abilities. The following recommended websites have been grouped into "Edutainment" or "Reference" categories. Edutainment sites contain games or kid-friendly lessons, while Reference websites provide support for school projects, research and homework completion. |
