Interaction, Games and Puzzles Web Resources

Publishing on the Internet can be improved by adding activities that engage the visitor with the content.
These activities can be designed by teachers or the students to encourage visitors to spend time on your site and return frequently. Online activities may need to be downloaded and printed out for completion, or may be hosted on a web site and provide immediate feedback to the visitor. Other ways of getting interactivity is by downloading and installing software to your desktop computer or web server or learning to write and modify HTML code to include the interaction. If you have any suggestions or comments, please contact the webmaster.
