I never thought I would see software programs that not only teach kids but also give them lessons on their morals. I think this program is awesome and I totally would use this in my teaching if I could! If kids learn lessons early in life then they will most likely remember what they learned.

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:51:00 -0800 Software for Kids http://stephgillett.posterous.com/software-for-kids http://stephgillett.posterous.com/software-for-kids

http://www.softwareforkids.com/

Software for kids sells educational software for toddlers all the way up to middle school. Children can even sample the game before their parents buy them. They have certain areas of software broken down to help with math, reading, science, and spelling. I think that would be a great site for techers to visit before they buy classroom software for their students.
