Line Rider
File this one under ‘little to no educational value’ but your kids will love it!
Actually if you recently had a wireless slate or SMART Board delivered this would be a good tool to get the kids comfortable using each of them.
Line rider is a simple yet addictive game. Essentially you [...]

I just came across a write up about three very good typing sites that are kid friendly. There are hundreds of online typing games and tests available online; I enjoyed the fact that these were very kid-friendly, had little or no advertising and of course were fun.

I mentioned Kiss Tunes briefly back in August, but I hadn’t looked at it very carefully until recently when my own children started to learn to read music. It is a handy tool if you want to do some quick music practice. Additionally it gives you the option to record your song and even comment [...]

I read recently that Crayon Physics was celebrating it’s anniversary by having a really good sale on the deluxe version of their software.

Yet another fun place to embellish your digital pictures. I especially enjoyed the postage stamp and newspaper effect. Site was similar to Image Chef. I liked it because it was easy to use, some effects used two pictures and it was free. I might use caution before using the site with students, some of the [...]
