Incorporating the Internet into a Kindergarten Curriculum

Posted By Juicy-Lie on June 30, 2007 @ 7:38 pm

This year, for the first time ever, I was told that I had to incorporate computer and internet education into the curriculum of my kindergarten class.  Not being a technological person myself, this scared me half to death.  In the weeks before school began for the year, I decided I had better hop on the information super highway and decide what it was that I was going to teach these fresh minds about - a topic I knew very little about.

I came across a site called thedollspalace.com.

As I played with the cartoon dolls, made characters using the dress up games, and colored pictures online, I knew this was definitely something these kids could get into.

During the first weeks of school, I was overjoyed to see their creative little minds design dolls, which surprisingly resembled themselves.  

The coloring pages were also a huge hit with them.  It is so much fun for them to know that they can see what Piglet would look like if he was green, knowing if they didn’t like it, they could change him with the click of the mouse.  

Although I have much to learn and to teach these children about the internet and its’ many uses, I know thedollspalace.com has become a permanent fixture in our classroom.
