http://www.gaillovely.com/ Gail's presentation was a treat. She moved very fast through her sites; however, the full presentation is available online at http://www.4shared.com/file/18743094/82208a4a/NEWpdf_handout_necc2007GailLovelySession.html I enjoyed this session for two reasons.
1. I have a 5 and 7 year old so I was excited to find new sites for my girls.
2. I often get primary teachers explaining how they don't have time to "do technology"
The websites shared specific activities on each site as they applied to learning for PreK to Grade 2. Highlights when choosing website activities for students included:
-Non cluttered interface
-Fast Loading time
-An interface that requires little user-support
-Being Curriculum based Being very clear and reinforcing concepts
-Being language independent (for early learners)
I have archived most of the websites that were showcased in del.icio.us as http://del.icio.us/amboe_k/primary I believe a site not listed in the presentation but were discussed includes:
Kinderkids podcast http://web.mac.com/agearrings/iWeb/KinderKids/KinderKids%20Podcast/KinderKids%20Podcast.html
I believe that Gail's presentation was very well organized. She highlighted a series of sites that would address each of the refreshed NETS-Student. Thank you Gail for a wonderful assortment of websites that are aligned with supporting student learning and appropriate for primary students.
