43 Things

Studies show that people who write their dreams/wishes/aspirations down that they are more likely to do them and those who share these dreams are even more likely to do them. The website 43Things helps people to write down what they want to do. It is also neat to see what other people are doing and how many people want to do the same thing as you.
To see my list of 43 things click here. I hope you enjoy looking at the things that interest me most.

Behaviorist and Constructivist Websites

Constructivist Websites

The first webquest I found was The Amazing Animal Zoo. This webquest is a start in the right direction because the student have to make their own animal to study then do the assignments outlined by the teacher. At least in this situation the students can design their own animal by visitng places around the world. They then have to convince the President of the Zoological society that their animal is unique.

The other website I really liked that is considered constrictivist is a National Geographic website focused on Lewis and Clark. This site is entertaining to kids because it is like a choose your adventure website. Each chose is followed by an explaination about your decision.


Behaviorist Websites

The first website I found was a classroom website about Math. Room 108 Kinds Math Games includes simple math games that are online. This website is considered behaviorist because it is basically filling out worksheets online. I would use this in working on simple problems and repitiation of a concept.

The last website I chose was a Music Theory page. This site provides links to interative drills that deal with stopics such as reading notes, scales, etc. This is good because it has basic drills for studetns to do over and over to put the concept into long term memory.

Digital Books

This post has links to different websites that have ditigal books.

International Children's Digital Library
The International Childrens Digital Library has featured books on their home page as well as in many different languages. Once you have an account you can search books by kids characters, real animal characters, imaginary creature characters, picture books and chapter books. There are also many different ways to search including size, award winning, fairy/ folk tales, age and make believe/true books. You can also combine search features to narrow the search.

Story Place
This is a place for people to find digital childrens books in both English and Spanish. The only bad thing about this site is that I could not find any free books.

Childrens Books Online
This is an online library with books in four different levels: pre-readers/very early readers, early readers, intermediate readers, and advanced readers. The only downside to this website is the format of the books, it looks like most of them are pdf pictures of books so you have to flip between pages

Childrens EBooks
This website has books in both TK3 and EXE. The reason I picked it is because it has a lots of Beatrix Potter books. These are books I remember reading when I was young. The website itself is not very sophisticated but it works.
