UEN (Utah's Education online)

In writing a piece for my wiki project, I cam across a unique and interesting site for K-12 learning. The Utah Education Network (UEN), has an area on their website, which is dedicated to various grades. The initial portion of the site is broken into 3 general grade levels (K-2, 3-6, and 7-12). As you select the grade level, you are presented with the subject topics for that grade level, such as Math, Science, Technology etc. After selecting the subject the student is then presented with a tabled format list of games that could be categorized further (i.e. Science might be broken into Earth, Chemistry, etc.).

Each of the games is in one of three formats; flash, shockwave, or java. They load pretty quickly and can be fun. Yes, I've played several and was quite addicted. I'm from the gamer 1.0 generation and if I had this type of learning back in my day (did I just say that), I would have done much better in school. All kidding aside, this site really has their curriculim layed out well. I've book marked it because I found several brain teasers (soduku, tower of hanoi, cryptograms, etc.). I think as long as the site is maintained, students will find it engaging and enjoy their learning. Go ahead and try it, go to the site and see if you don't get addicted in a good way!
