What it is:
This is the main page of the website I have been developing for my kindergarten class. It contains several links to our curriculum, but more importantly to this context it contains links to nearly a dozen flash games I have programmed that learners can use independently. The flash games include content for children to explore letters, numeracy, polygons, sorting, and fine motor skills.
What it demonstrates:
With respects to bridging Constructivist theory to practice, this artifact demonstrates my ability to create minimally guided instruction for learners to explore.
How it benefits students at the PK-14 level:
Though these games are designed primarily for kindergarteners, many of my colleagues, some teaching students as high as 8th grade, use these games to teach lessons and reinforce or offer skills practice to their students. The beauty of having these games on the internet is that colleagues from other schools and parents tell me that they are using the games as well.
Standards:
There are 11 games that address a number of standards relevant to the CT Kindergarten Frameworks, National Council for Teachers of Mathematics standards, and the ISTE National Education Technology Standards for Students (NET-S).
