Surfing for ABC's

Integration Corner led to a website which was so influential on the incorporation of technology aspect in the classroom because it linked language development in a way I would have never imagined could be done. Surfing for ABC’s is one of the most amazing websites for alliteration and comprehension which I have ever come across. It fully integrates technology with academics in a way children hunger to receive information. This site allows children time to explore their new learning tools. Children need time and hands on practice with new skills and this site reinforces manual reflexes because the information is entertaining and interactive. The site is set up alphabetically and demonstrates beginning sounds. Each letter of the alphabet has hyperlinks to topical information with movies, pictures, and extensive informative topical data. Teachers and students set up the site as a class project. The children used yahooligans to look up links. These type of projects connect the teacher and students. The children build self esteem and perseverance through problem solving. Students get extremely excited and tell their parent which increases overall connectivity in the classroom environment. Educational systems could only benefit by creating educational products which spike students interests and holds their attention because they had a part in creating the whole.
