What it is:
     
This artifact is a paper that examines research I conducted on two flash games I developed and implemented in my classroom.  In addition it contains links to the games, pre and post-test data, and parent survey data.

What it demonstrates:
     
This artifact demonstrates my ability to develop engaging educational technology academically relevant to my students, which will help them succeed independently.  This paper also demonstrates my understanding of scientific research’s relationship in supporting my educational decisions.

How it benefits student PK-14:
      These games are designed primarily for kindergarteners and preschoolers, however some first grade teachers have used these games to reinforce and offer skills practice to their students.  Having access to these games on the internet extends the umbrella of the students they will benefit to homes and schools with internet connections.
