The purpose of this resource collection on Paperless Interactive Internet Learning Activities for Students in Junior Grades is to provide students with ongoing hands-on resource materials on the Internet that can reinforce and extend their critical thinking, analytical and problem solving skills within and beyond the classroom. The ultimate goal is to provide an online forum that provide students with the opportunity to improve their independent learning and academic achievement in the core subject areas including Math, Science, Language and Visual and Fine Arts.

The materials selected for this site are interactive links to Web Sites that provide students with the opportunity to solve problems online without the use of pen and paper, and without the necessity of intervention and feedback of a teacher or caregiver. This site provides students with a unique web experience because it creates a space for instant problem solving, feedback and self assessment by the very nature of the forms and javascript based activities. Problems are completed and solved online with automatic feedback.

The materials selected are highly relevant and conform with the overall and specific expectations of the Ontario Curriculum relating to the integration of technology into all areas of the learning and teaching process. They were selected based on interactivity and reliability of information presented. The web content on the linked pages were evaluated using an educational criteria including authority, objectivity, accuracy and safety for students.

The target audience for this site is students who are able to work independently on learning activities without guidence and direction.

This resource collection was prepared, edited and maintained by Gary Pieters, an educator and part-time graduate studies student at OISE/UT, as a requirement for my course work in CTL1605: Internet Resources in Education.
