http://www.brainpop.com
This site is subscription based, and I was only given about 5 "free" minutes to examine content, but I was favorably impressed. They have a trial period you can also sign up for, but I haven't done that yet. Brainpop offers animated educational movies, quizzes, experiments, comic strips, timelines, printable activity pages, and lesson plans on a very, very wide range of topics in Science, Math, English, Social Studies, and more. What I saw seemed to be high quality content. Subscription for a year is $79 for a family, $135 for a classroom (maybe someday we might be interested in split the cost for our co-op?). I'm looking for some good activities for Eric after he finishes his current favorite science software (I Love Science), and brainpop might be it! |

http://www.quia.com
On this site, you'll find hundreds upon hundreds of computer based educational games created by teachers and others. Quia is a subscription-based educational site,, but offers many of the games that their customers have created for everyone to try. Go to http://www.quia.com/shared/index_top50.html to try out some of the free ones, and get an idea of what you could do yourself. The offer an easy way for anyone to take their own material and create games (battleship, hangman, quizzes of all sorts) right on the computer. I have seen math games linked to Battleship, Spanish words linked to Hangman, and concentration-style matching games for Latin roots. Quia's blurb says they have "pioneered the 'create-your-own' concept, giving instructors the ability to create customized educational software online, built around their own course material." |
