The first one is coloring pages which you can either color on the website or print them and color at home or hand out so the children can color at school on their free time or if they finished and assignment and you do not want them interrupting the other students.
The second section contains a variety of things like stickers, party favors and invitations that you can print.
The third section contains different games. Many are just for fun but there are math games, puzzle games and games for thinking.
The fourth section is meant to test the fine motor skills of anybody since it is all about the paper art of origami. Here you can learn how to do different animals even the Michael Scofield’s swan from Prison Break.
The fifth section contains videos of entire cartoon episodes of children’s favorite cartoons like Spiderman, Dragon Ball Z Kai, Super Mario Brothers, Hello Kitty, Sonic X, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Danny Phantom and Woody Wood Pecker.
I believe that any teacher can find a useful aspect to this Web 2.0 site since it is varied. If you are interested in visit this site you can go to http://www.kidopo.com/.
Great blog Marcos, very detailed and I like the pictures. I think origami is a great fine motor skill. If done correctly some origami can be a great motivator for certain lessons. There is the book 1000 Cranes and another book about how Betsy Ross put stars on the flag. I can't wait for the next blog.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed what the information you shared about the kidopo site. It seems like it has a lot of different activities that teachers can use across elementary and early middle school as extension activities or take home activities that parents can work on with their kids to build on skills they are learning in school. Coming from a special education background I can see how this site can even work with high school students who have severe educational disabilities. This site can be used to work on motor skills and as a way for parents to connect with their children. You didn't mention in your blog how you would use this site either personally or within education, so I am just a little curious. How would you use this site for your self!?
ReplyDeleteWow! maybe this web2.0 stuff isn't all bad after all. Thats some good work Marco! Of course, in in a public education setting that means that every child needs a computer, and we all know how some kids love to tear stuff up.
