Useful Websites and Educational Games

Websites that are useful in creating lesson plans with Gardner's Multiple Intelligences in mind.

www.cyke.com - A website that addresses children psychological problems, with a space for kids to play games that help them understand their emotions

www.teachers.ash.org.au/researchskills/dalton.htm - A website that explains ways of implementing Blooms taxonomy in the classroom and examples of tasks that can be given to students.

www.surfaquarium.com/mi/intelligences.htm - This site has an incredible range of games and activities that students can use to learn through their preferred learning styles.

This last website is full of games and activites to stimulate learning in children. They are divided into each of the learning stlyes. It would therefore be useful for all types of learners as it caters to them all, not just kinaesthetic or visual. This website would be useful for fast workers in a classroom, as it could help fill in time for them whilst still being educational. It has the added bonus that when a learner, say visual, recieves stimulation in that area, such as playing visual games on the internet, they are much more receptive to learning even once they have moved on from playing the games.

Hello KJ,

I see that you are looking at blooms Taxonomy and wondered if you have seen the 'new' Revised version... it fits better with the idea of creating knowledge which is what your are doing here with your blog, and what kids today need to start doing more often in school.
Here is a good link:

It is from Jeff Utecht's new blog.

I found your blog as a result of you mentioning my blog in the post before this one... thanks for coming by and then mentioning me:-)
