Part One

So, I figured I would have went to a few websites in Chapter 2 of Warlick's book, nope I was hooked on one for about 40 mins, yes I said it, 40 mins. What website was it? I went to Ask Jeeves for Kids... http://www.ajkids.com. I'm not going to lie, I had alot of fun. I first went to the website and just looked at the main page. It is just like the jeeves.com website with the little space you can type in what you are searching for. Then off to the right of the screen there are a pile of books with different words on then showing different subjects in school, a dictionary, a thesaurus, an almanac, an atlas, biography, and others. When you click on one of those it takes you to another page which can help answer a question you might have about the subject or maybe have sparked a new interest in that certain topic. I clicked on the science book and then I clicked around after that and I came up to how to make a lava lamp. How cool would that be? Making a lava lamp.

Then yo can click on a link that says Where's Jeeves? It then goes through this cute story of who he is and what he does and what he likes to do. I was interested in it. It had pictures of what he liked to do and it was just cute and creative how it was set up and arranged.

The site also have a fun and games link, where I spent most of my time. All the games and everything is educational, so while kids are having fun they are learning and thinking at the same time. If I could have fun with something like this imagine what a younger kid could do. They had a connect the dots game where it gave you a hint of an animal then you clicked the numbers to connect the dots and you get a few clues then you guess and it gives you the answer. It also has a tic-tac-toe game, it has checkers and that guides the players on how to play the game and make the right moves and really comprehend the point of the game, it also has a spelling game and solving riddles.

Not only can this website help kids with homework and doing papers and projects it is also fun with the games and educational at the same time. If this website was given to me when I was younger I really think I would have enjoyed doing homework and research because there is so much to that website. I feel it should be give out to third graders and up and even younger kids. A website like this can be beneficial to teachers and parents when it comes to getting their kids doing their work.
