Using Online Learning Resources

As the Internet evolves and our technology capabilities continue to increase, so do our options for online learning. In the beginning, online learning was basically limited to using the Internet to look up information, and now- it takes the form of educational games, phonics activities, and full online courses to further your education. Educational games and phonics activities are geared for younger children; designed in bright colors and highly graphical programs- and are used to supplement the teaching strategies used to teach literacy.

Online learning web sites are typically divided by age group, so you can find the educational games appropriate for your child, and some are even further divided by topic- so you can choose phonics activities or math or other subject that you want to provide further educational instruction for your child.

Funbrain.com offers online learning materials, and is divided first into sections for parents, teachers, and children- and then further subdivided into ages and academic subjects, making it an easy way to find the educational games or phonics activities that you want to use. In addition to the games, the site offers exceptional resources for educators, including instructional materials, online testing and grade record keeping, creating online courses, and links to other resources to help you motivate and teach your students.
