Kidspiration a little basic
I reviewed all the videos and info for this week on kidspiration and i guess my main question is...what level is this directed to? I'm sure this would be good for a third grade class sitting on the floor in front of Ms Stubbs and moving proper and normal nouns around on a projected screen, but what can we do for the older kids? Are there other kidspiration type software packages that a 10th grader would like to play with and learn from? It seems that even as advanced as this software may be in getting away from the old style school classroom, by using computers and technology, it still seems like it is lacking from an entertainment standpoint. And that is what we are really trying to do right? Entertain them while we teach. It cant just be chalk and slate anymore, but i think these are going the way of the VCR. they were good until dvd came along, and then obsolete when blue ray stepped in. I would like to see a fast moving product with a techno/rap music background--something that kids will listen to and pay attention to--Entertain them!
