This weeks Website of the Week comes via a Tweet from Angela Maiers who recommended Shidonni on Twitter.
Shidonni is a fun website where pupils can draw an animal and then click a button to see it come to life! Even better than this, they can also draw items of food to put in the animal's fridge, watch as their animal eats the food and draw habitat for their animal to live in.
e-safety warning - entering personal data
The site requires free registration and requests an email address and birth date. I was able to create an account with a bogus email address and would recommend schools do this for each of their students (e.g. sam@school.com). Actual birthdates of children should not be entered. Instead make up the day and the month and only use the correct year they were born.
If you are using this in a classroom you’ll probably want to create the student accounts in advance
