Brandi Young- New Lima- I went to the "Play Amazonia Explorer Online" pages. I think it would be too high of a reading level for my special education class. I think I could use this with them if I pulled out some vocabulary and we did a week or so of learning the vocabulary, so when they would see the words they would be able to understand it a little better. I would also create a page of fill in the blank notes they could fill out as they went through the information. I believe they would love doing the lesson, and anything they can do on the computer is more interesting than what they do on paper or out of the text book.
