That is the name of the post on Tech&Learning that I have just read (@http://www.techlearning.com/article/22008 by Barbara Bray)The post contain a large number of website in which they have interactive program , mostly created with flash, with the intention to make the learning of word and vocabulary become much more interesting. Although I fear that my kid will become addicted to computer as he sees it as something fun to play, I will introduce these program to him and let him play them on computer. I have spent hours to check around these program. They look so much fun. In comparison to all the interactive toys and alphabet learning toys available for small children, these program are offered at no cost and have much more learning effects than regular toys. I cannot think of how teachers can use them in the classroom. Yet I believe it will be a great learning toys for children at home.
Bembo’s Zoo
This site has a flash program that start with The Alphabet. When you move your mouse over the character there will be the sound of the animal whose name start with that character. For example, if you click on Elephant, the screen will display the word Elephant and all the character will move around and turn into the shape of the Elephant while the Elephant sound will play on the back ground. Cute !!

These look like interesting sites. I think my 5th graders would enjoy the refridgerator magnet site. I will have to take a closer look at it and see how I can integrate it into a lesson. I'm sure it could be used in a writing/language arts activity.
