My site was Kidnetic.com
Kidnetic is a website designed to get kids to eat right and get plenty of exercise. There are lots of games you can play at home, java applets that you can play along with as well as recipes for healthy snacks. The color scheme is a little ouchy to my aging eyes, but I'm sure kids would be drawn to it... There are also a lot of articles on various topics including self-esteem and body image, etc..
~What are two ways the site could be used in the classroom?
The Move Mixer specifically could be used as a way to get everyone moving together. Each week a different student could create a dance for the whole class to try.
The InnerG app could be used as a way to learn the parts of the body, and then, once learned, the kids could time one another to see who can replace all of the body parts fastest.
~How could the site be used to extend learning opportunities beyond the classroom?
There is a ton of outside-the-classroom stuff on this page. The recipes, obviously, aren't going to be something for the kids to do in class, but still are valuable as a way to learn what is "good" to eat. There are also a lot of exercise-type games that can be played in the household.
