One thing to watch out for, Ducksters does have some advertisements on their sites. As long as you train your students to look out for these, it shouldn't be an issue (and really, it's a great digital literacy lesson for students to learn to watch out for clickable ads). If you're not comfortable with students navigating the site on their own, the video above describes a workaround so you can still use these resources without exposing your students to any of the online advertisements.
