Starfall and Kidspiration

The remainder of class #3 was spent with Rachel giving us an introduction to Starfall and Kidspiration.

Starfall is a website that I have previously used with my 2 year old daughter. It was introduced to me by a colleague whose daugther is the same age (actually his daughter is 12 hours younger!). My daughter loves to sit at the computer and use to mouse to visit this website. She especially liked to ability to learn her ABC's through visual aides as well as sound. She enjoyed learning different things that start with the individual letters. As her name starts with the letter T, she loved to hear the train toot and the tiger roar. Those are two of her favorite sounds to make around the house.

I also enjoyed learning about Kidspiration. I have previously used Inspiration and was happy to learn that a similar program existed for kids. It certainly is kid friendly and provides them with an opportunity to play with the program so that they may learn as they play.

Thanks Rachel - you did a great job!
