Online Learning Website(CH2)


http://www.eduplace.com/

This is a two-sided website.

In “educators” part, it provides educators with many teaching materials to teach. Teachers can click one topic to choose one related book that guides teachers how to teach, what to teach step by step according the grade of students.

In “students” part, the website offers students e-books to learn a glossary about the topic, related information to read, animated activities, and weekly current events reading. All designs in this website make me surprise to know what a fun learning can have.

Furthermore, below the page, there are four parts for students to learn further. First part is Wacky Web Tales that provides learners with some cute topics, like meeting the animals, super salad, and simply delicious, to basically learn five parts of speech, like nouns, adjectives, and verbs. We just fill in the blanks with related words, and the website uses our words to form our tales. And second part is current events. There are some online magazines and articles for children to form a habit that reads every week. As for the third, it belongs to evaluation part that we learners can select one or all three questions to answer. If students get stuck, the website provides hints for each question. Therefore, in solving problem, this program is helpful to build problem-solving skills of students. Final part even offers information how to learn from, search for and evaluate websites. It indicates that learning from websites along with illustrations and related links is another technique to make learning effectively and conveniently.

Briefly, the manifestations and manipulations of this website are suitable for young children grading1-8 to learn online. It successfully uses multicolored designs and useful learning techniques to make learners become more creative and more active in learning.
