Alberta Government has a website that parents, students, and
teachers can use to get information regarding the education program. The
website provides information about the grade level curriculum, separating it
into the topics, general, and specific outcomes that teachers are to teach
the students. Parents are able to use this as a guide for what their
children are learning at school, and students will use this website to get
information about what is needed from them. Overall the website would be a
useful tool for parents and students to get a good understanding of the
information in the curriculum.

- The website provides many movie clips regarding science topics discussed
in the curriculum. The movie clips are made more for K-8 students using
cartoon characters and having mini quizzes before the movie shows it gives
students an understanding of the information that is going to shown. To
access all the movie clips a subscription needs to be purchased, for parents
at home is $9.00 a month. This is a great resource for students to use to
gain a better understanding of topics in the specific subject area.

great addition to the notes that they take in class. The website provides
information for many topics discussed in Topic D of the science curriculum.
Very easy to get around the website and uses very simple language to get the
points around. The website also provides links to a few of their other
websites that deal with earth and atmosphere.

website that provides students with great resources to access links of all

sites that the site recommends are very educational and safe for students to
use. Yahoo gives students access to many games and interesting articles in
their news section. The school section provides subject specific links.

solve and navigate through challenges. Games are grade specific and only go

the different things about this website is that there is an area for
homework tips and tools to get ahead in school. Since the website is made
directly for kids the graphics and colors are great.
