Another site that I use often is www.brainpopjr.com

This site is an audio visual treat as well (a requirement to keep elementary students attention ). It has a LOT of games that are free and a few free videos. To access most of the videos, you have to have a subscription.

For the free games: The games are listed by categories such as science, health, reading and writing, technology, math and so on. The site is professionally done as well and is flash based. Games can be controlled with just the touch screen for "Grab it" type games where you click on the correct word. Some are controlled with the keyboard while others are controlled with the Microb "drag and drop" control. (swipe your finger from the left until the arrow shows then click the arrow so that a red line strikes through it, thus allowing you to manipulate the flash content via drag and drop.)

There are free videos in different sections as well and a Movie of the Week. The videos play at an AMAZING quality and can be set to be played in a larger window. Try the Movie of the Week on the main page.

Please try www.brainpopjr.com on your N900,play a few games and watch the Movie of the Week and let me know what you think.

And no, I don't have any ties to these websites and I don't get anything from them, I just love to use technology to learn and our N900s make it so easy and Microb is so powerful, even without Flash 10.1.
