Starfall

I checked out the website www.starfall.com and loved it. Since I have a kindergartener who is learning to read, I think this site will be extremely helpful to her. First, I feel the website makes learning fun. The animation, movies, and games make it exciting and easy for young children to use. Second, since my daughter is a kinesthetic and visual learner, using the computer and mouse will definitely accommodate her learning styles. Lastly, I was so impressed by the website that I decided to use it as a part of my lesson plan for our Lesson Plan project due. I'm thinking about doing a lesson plan for kindergarteners learning the alphabet.

Dr. Luongo, as an aside, as a current "non-teacher" student in your class, I really appreciate all of the websites and tools that you share with us. I really feel that these tools give me a headstart, especially when I get a job as a first year teacher. I know it's overwhelming the first year (and I am really nervous about it), but I really feel that these websites will help me out tremendously!
