Websites for the Elementary Classroom

Computers have become a way of life in the classroom. Students have computers at home and they are used to surfing the web. There are wonderful websites out there to help them learn. These websites are mostly a FREE resource, which allows students to have fun while learning. However, there are so many sites out there, many teachers struggle to find out which websites to use.

During my time as a teacher, both a computer teacher and a classroom teacher, I have amassed a large collection of “tried and true” websites. This e-book is a collection of these websites, ready for you to use in your classroom to promote fun and engaging learning. I hope that your students get as much out of these websites as mine do.
