Educational Java Programs

The site was started in November of 1997 with the purpose of providing Java™ Applets that can be used as tools to help and enhance the education of children both at school and at home.

The site designers believe that learning can be significantly enhanced when the student learner can be actively engaged in the learning process through discovery and exploration. This tied together with hands-on activities that motivate and challenge the student. This is sometimes referred to as self-directed or student-centered learning, where the student is responsible for his or her learning. Where the student gains knowledge by doing, constructing, inventing...

"To understand is to invent" -- Jean Piaget

With the advent of the Internet and Java™ it is possible to not only have the ability to use these tools both at school and at home but also to enhance the collaborative aspects of learning, where students can work independently but share ideas and jointly build knowledge.
