the site |
This site has a variety of different games for students to play. The
primary games range from Hide-‘n-Seek to having students typing alphabet
letters on the keyboard. I believe this site would be very good
instructive tool for primary ages at school and home. |
Brief comments (less than 100 words) concerning specific strengths
and/or weaknesses in relation to the Web Portal criteria |
Funschool.com is very open on how this site is run and how the
information is readily available. The content seems to cover all the areas
of learning and the games are made to become harder to challenge an
individual. This site covers many different standards. Finding your way
around is easy; games are visible by words and pictures. There are sounds
with the games, and it has very good positive reinforcements for getting
problems correct. |
