This is a fabulous site and if you have or teach young children (ages 4-12) you too will love this site! The founder, Nick van Dam, created this site in 2004 for the sole purpose of educating children. He wanted to share great courseware for free to children around the world. The site is free. There are many group and individual sponsors. One is welcome to donate through Paypal.
The site has some very good games to play and you can choose according to age. All the games have good graphics and sound. It is all very kid-friendly. There are also learning clips, which are similar to Brain Pop. The themes for the clips vary from how one hears and how a hearing test is given, to explaining HIV/Aids. There are some topics that are obviously important for children especially who might be living with and dealing with these issues first hand.
I am going to make sure this site is not blocked the school I teach. If it is, I will write the webmaster. This is wonderful site and it should be utilized in the classroom.
