What is an interactive website? you might be using them and not even know it! An interactive website is one that is meant to be manipulated towards a goal. Websites that run games such as Pacman or Tetris can be considered interactive. But websites can also be used to create educational material. In the list to the right I have provided a couple of Interactive Web site's that a teacher could use to help students grasp some simple skills. For instance there is an antonym matching game to help students quickly learn what the concept of antonyms are. There are also test you can use to drill students on specific subjects, such as the life of Ben Franklin. The website quia.com seems to have a whole bunch of these types of web pages, though you must pay to use them after a free trail period. Still interactive games such as these are great tools for helping people learn certain skills, especially for those who learn well by "doing". If a teacher can easily integrate using a web page such as this, it could be a great method of helping a student learn. What is nice is the fact that these games are all web based (running on java or sometime just within the browser) it makes it much easier to use and accesses. Interactive web sites could easily be used to go over easy vocabulary terms or run true false quizzes. If a teacher could learn how to create one of these types of web sites they could easily create some fun content for their classes to use.
