Children simply point and click on a picture that interests them, and they are either linked to a Web site about that topic or to an educational game related to it. Children can visit zoos and museums, play a variety of simple games, make a truck, read nursery rhymes and stories, and link to hundreds of entertaining and educational sites. Enchanted Learning Software in Mercer Island has established a Web site that helps teach the alphabet and other skills. For younger children, Little Explorers combines a clever web design and a picture dictionary with links to allow them to surf the Web safely. Little Explorers, from Enchanted Learning Software of Mercer Island, Wash., makes it easy for preschool and elementary school kids to surf the Internet.
Kids use a picture dictionary format to link to games and educational activities.
Little Explorers is listed as a reader submission. The collection provides a wealth of information and online activities for any elementary school student. Included in Cornell University's Kids on Campus Hands-On Web Demonstration . Kids on Campus is an annual computer day for elementary-school students, sponsored by Cornell Theory Center as part of NSF's National Science and Technology Week.
