High interest educational site that offers more than geography
I really like the site, but I think it is a bit too text rich for my ELL students. There are colorful images and the sound files that make it more accessible, but I would love to see it in a translated form.

This website is wonderful for all different types of learners
This website is wonderful! There are so many pictures, fun interactive games that teach about recycling, different famous explorers, and facts/photos/videos for different places and people. The photos of wildlife, animals, habitats, countries, and cultures and very engaging. I like how this website helps differentiate by providing auditory and videos for students that need extra support visually and by hearing it. I love how there are a lot of hands on experiments. This website would be great for all types of learners.

However, you can search the whole site which helps narrow things down. It also has a good amount of variety which makes it likely that all students will find something of interest.

I have planned many lessons around NGKids. Elementary students love animals, and there are lots of ways to use this site. Students really enjoy just looking around in it, too.
