Interesting learning websites

After the discussion of the topic“technologies/website in the classroom” in week 2, the primary school teacher group makes me think about the use of technologies in our teaching. But how do we motivate our students in learning? It should be encouraging and interesting. The other thing is we should guild them the proper attitude and the right way to use of technologies. Therefore, I try to find some activities from the internet which related to this topic.
The first one is http://ihouse.hkedcity.net/~cm1006/hotpo/.  It contains different kinds of games for all primary level. For instance, matching game and crossword for lower forms, free writing for higher form etc., students may like to play and try it.

The second one is the phonics form BBC link http://cwp.hkcampus.net/phonics.html.  It is all about phonic. For example, CVC words, consonant clusters, long vowel sounds, high frequency words etc. It is very helpful for the students who are learning phonics.


The next one is the online children’s storybooks http://www.magickeys.com/books/index.html.  It illustrates children’s stories for kids of all ages. The important thing is, it is free, and the phonics links, riddles and colourbook can also been found here.

The last one is Bananas in pajamas http://www.abc.net.au/children/bananas/default.htm. The characters are very funny and colourful here. You can choose one of them to be your wallpaper as well. There are different games inside, such as memory games, mix”n”match, sing-a-long, etc. It is very suitable for the students “play to learn”.

So, if I put such links in my class blog as a part of teaching tools, I think it would be wealth wide to my students in motivate their learning.
