Pioneer+Library+Resources

Preschool Pioneer Library 1. This site is great! It contains information that is preschool level. There are games and lessons and videos and books all available for children to access that are fun and entertaining. There are links to learn about numbers and letters and all types of beginner things that preschool age children should be familiar with.

2. I think that the quality of the information is great. It all seemed up to date to me and exactly what preschool age children should be learning to help them get ready for kindergarten. Some of it could probably even be used for some beginners at the kindergarten level.

3. It is very easy to navigate. There are several big links to subjects such as letters, numbers, plants and Me. All of these links have access to things for kids, teachrs, parents, games, and much more.

4. I would use this site as an educator by having students play games and do activites that relate to what we are studying in class. It would be a nice way for them to get more familiar with the subject or to evaluate what they have learned so far. Since there are a lot of games on the site, the children would have fun while learning at the same time without me standing in front of them and talking for long periods of time.

5. I guess I kind of covered this in question 4 also, but I would have the children go on and play the games and do the activites that relate to the topics we are covering in the classroom.

Soundzabound 1. Soundzaboud is a music website that is legal and you can use as much as you want in your classroom for free and not have to worry about getting in trouble for downloading music illegally. You can search by title, artist, category and there are sound effects, videos, news shows and more things than just music.

2. The quality of the site and information looks great to me. There is a lot of information on the site and different options that would be useful for activites and lessons where you want to have a little fun with music.

3. The site is easy to navigate. You just type in your information that you want by title, artist, category or whatever it is that you are looking for.

4. I would use this as an educator by adding sound or music to my lessons. Little kids especially like sound effects and fun things like that so it would be fun to use for that. An idea that I had while I was looking at the site was to use music to indicate to students when it is time to which learning centers and things like that rather than me shouting out to switch. When they hear the music or the sound effect they know to clean up and switch.

5. The students could use this site in powerpoint presentations or any type of presentation that they have. Another use could be when we are studying cultures and countries they could look up music from cultures that we are studying.

World Book Encyclopedia 1. This site has pretty much any information that you can think of! It is the World Book Encyclopedia online so you just type in a subject and hundreds of things come up about that subject. There are sections titled Reserach Tools, Biography Centers, Quizzes and Activites, What's New, as well as the option to just type in a subject and find information. There are video links to information. Pretty much anything you need, you can find on this site! How awesome!

2. The quality of everything that I looked at seemed great! There is so much information linked to this site that I can imagine that there may be some information somewhere that may be out of date but the majority of it is very useful and would be great for students and teacher to use!

3. I think that it is very easy to navigate. You can either type in the subject that you need information on in the upper left hand corner of the site and tons of links pop up or you can click on links that are right on the home page and find information about things.

4. I would use this site a lot as an educator I think. As I have said in the other questions, there is pretty much unlimited amounts of information on this site so I could use it to research more about a topic before I teach it or use it to get pictures for a lesson.

5. Students could use this site for research papers, projects, presentations and homework. In upper grades, children start learning about and writing papers so this site would be great! When I was in elementary school, I remember researching topics with the actual hard copy of the encylcopedia and it would have been so nice to have it all on the computer right in front of me. This will be a great tool to help me be able to help my students in my classroom.
