Top Educational Websites For Children That Are Fun There’s something about the phrase “top educational websites for children” that makes my stomach feel ill. It may be because I imagine parents plopping their children in front of a PC and only allowing them to play games that involve solving math problems or answering science questions. The torture! A Brief List of The Top Educational Websites For Children In order to produce a quality list, I started at KidSites, which is sort of the “Google” of children’s websites. #1: The Best Kids Art Website – Metro Museum of Art Many of the sites at KidSites can be amateurish or boring, so it can take some searching to find that special gem of a site. To think that this is just one small section within a larger kid’s activity area of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website is impressive. #2: Top Science Website – NASA As always, you’ll find the best designed websites from larger organizations with the funding to hire people who can produce the best web applications for kids.
Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Digital World Bloom’s Taxonomy, developed in the 1950′s, expresses thinking and learning through a set of concepts that begin with lower order thinking skills (LOTS) and build to higher order thinking skills (HOTS). The initial phraseology of Bloom’s Taxonomy had six levels, beginning with knowledge at the lowest, then progressing through comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The basis for the theory is rather straightforward, a person cannot understand something that he does not remember (know) nor can he/she analyze or apply that knowledge if the person does not understand the material. Though an ability to analyze and apply certainly supersedes the basic knowledge category, to synthesize entails divergently applying knowledge and/or skills to produce something new. Lastly, evaluating or judging the value of material is necessary to produce a worthy final end product. Applying Progressing up the Bloom’s ladder, the next level is referred to as applying.
