Some of these “click and drop sites” are great for children as they develop their hand-eye coordination, their fine-motor skills, and their visual perception skills.  Computer games should never take the place of actual playing with manipulatives, but they are a great enhancement to a play-based program.

Even if you don’t believe in computers in the classroom (I don’t- more on that later) they are here to stay.  Children will need to develop computer/navigation skills and mouse agility at some point and I would rather that children learn them on developmentally appropriate websites, than with some of the other stuff that is out there.
