e-Learning for Kids

I am always looking for ways to help my kids learn and try to make learning fun for them. I think the most essential skill to learn is reading but I also believe they need computer skills. This is something they don't get a lot of in school. Today I found a great website that will combine the two skills that I feel are important. http://www.e-learningforkids.org/ This is an e-Learning website for children.

This website is a non-profit organization that was established in 2004 that is dedicated to fun learning for kids from ages 5 to 12. They offer free online courses that will help build children's skills in Math, Language Arts, Science, English, Computer Skills and Health and Lifestyles.

This website is not just for parents, it's also for educators. Educators have free unlimited use to all the courses offered. Teachers can work with their students in the areas that need some attention and all students can work in the level that is suited for them.

e-Learning for Kids is also in the process of developing an open community that consists of a blog, chat rooms, design space, articles and much more. It's a great web site for the education world!

Great post. I thought that this was a very interesting website and i think its great to try and get kids involved with not only learning how to use a computer but obviously having the confidence to try and interact online in more of a learning environment.

Furthermore i think that this is a great tool for anyone looking at any elearning initiatives to help kids enjoy learning.
