Introduction
ABCya! is a new and exciting way for elementary students to learn on the web. All educational games and activities were created by teachers for kids! Activities are modeled from primary grade lessons and enhanced to provide an interactive way to learn.
How to use ABCya!
ABCya! has worked hard to create a visually stimulating web site while maintaining a simple navigation theme. Although many web sites offer great content for childern, most unfortunately require a good deal of adult intervention. Activites are scatered and nested several pages deep, with only contextual clues and difficult to follow menus to use as guides. ABCya! has taken this problem into account and has made navigation as simple as possble for young children. There is even an interactive lesson on how our buttons work! Aside from the easy to follow colorful buttoms, kindergarten and first grade activities have sound embeded for voice instruction. We promise that after a quick introduction, students of all ages will be able to navigate through ABCya! without a problem.
About ABCya!
ABCya! is free to use as long as the terms and conditions are followed by the user(s). ABCya! has several benchmarks in place for 2005, one of which is to add new activities every week. As we work hard to meet this goal, we also seek feedback to help constantly improve current activites and games. Together we can help ABCya! meet its overarching goal which is to become the standard in technology in elementary education.
