These are my 62 favorite kindergarten websites. I sprinkle them in throughout the year, adding several each week to the class internet start page, deleting others. I make sure I have 3-4
each week that integrate with classroom lesson plans, 3-4 that deal with technology skills and a few that simply excite students about tech.

I find that the children love the New York Zoo site called Build Your Wild Self. I also have several others on the Kindergarten page of my website. Starfall is a never fail winner with the little ones!

I am a first year K-5 Tech Teacher in Southern Illinois. My district’s resources are limited but I do have 30 computers available and 15 iPads in my classroom.
Would you be willing to send me a sample or general overview of your K-5 curriculum?
Otherwise, I am also interested in knowing if you ever assign any projects for the young ones in your class. Mine are focusing right now on BigBrownBear typing, but I would really love to give them an assignment that they can show their parents (take home) that is tangible and reasonably easy for one or two 25 minute class periods.

Hi Tabitha–There are a variety of ‘freebies’ here. See if they give you enough of an overview.
My 1st graders love Big Brown Bear typing. We make it a game–when they get to 22, they can move on to the next activity (say, Starfall). We use KidPix a lot, writing and drawing their site words. 2nd graders love Spellingcity.com, which transfers nicely to the home. Google Earth–there are wonderful activities on that for K-2. Is that the age group you’re thinking of?
