I really enjoyed working with Encarta Kids it is fun and interactive.
ReplyDeleteEncarta has proven to be a very informative site. Children will be able to use Encarta Kids to conduct research for projects, as well as learn about different aspects of the environment in which they live. I love that the site provides the sounds associated with different entities, this will help children to relate and better understand what they read and view on the site. Well done.
