- Explore Learning objects and simulations
I found the site very intresting as its informed me about how computers and the web started, and how they were adadpted so just a child could use and learn from them. The website iteself, I found simple to use after grasping what it was that I was meant to do on it.

– Use a simulation
This website (Netfrog) although defiant at first, in the long run it makes sence, because instead of wasting a frogs life over and over for the purpose of a educational lesson, you can simply go on to this website and learn step by step. Critics could argue that you do not learn so much from it, with this said it is up to the place of learning to decide. (http://www.belforduniversity.org/)


– Macromedia virtual classroom
This website allows you to enter a classroom from your own home online! This exciting technology is on 98% of excisting internet using computers. There are few advatages to using this system, such as the quieter students to speak up without the fear of embaressment. Disadvantages will be like any other online social system, security, but on the otherhnd, the online loggin this problem is almost wiped out.
