Prep Learning Games
by mark on May.04, 2011, under Educational
Having a son in prep this year has led me to research learning tools and games. He is already quite confident with using a web browser and bookmarks for finding his favorite online games and playing them unsupervised. Once on a site like cartoon network, he can find new games quite easily.
If you allow unsupervised access, remember to jail/restrict their account so they cant install or do anything accidentally to the computer.
Here is a collection.
I may also write some if I cant find any more suitable ones.
The key motivator using experience with my son is something exciting and/or funny when you get it right. It also needs to be verbal/spoken as they cont read yet.
