alphabet fun online

animated alphabet website - animal noises included

One of my goals (way prefer "goals" to "resolutions") for the new school year is to make technology use in the classroom seamless - a teaching a learning tool to be used at the right time for the right reason.

We have been very technology poor (the only technology in the room was what I brought from home), but now we have an ipad and they are supposed to be installing a ceiling mounted projector this summer.

I am joining Brenda from Primary Inspired ABC for her literacy and word work website blog hop.

One of my favourite alphabet websites goes with the book Bembo's Zoo. Click on the book cover to head to the Bembo's Zoo website.

The opening screen is a choice of all the alphabet letters - accompanied by some wild animal jungle noises to get you in the correct mood.

When each letter is selected, the name of an animal (beginning with the chosen letter) appears on the screen.

The letters then flip and jumble themselves around 

and transform themselves into the correct animal. 

Here's a quick overview of the alphabet - with a different soundtrack

.

I have spent far too long playing with the letters and watching in fascination as they transform into the animals.  Hope you and your kidlets enjoy it as much as we do.
