Galim - an educational site for young children

The Galim site is aimed at providing an holistic virtual learning environment for young children. It provides opportunities for experiential learning for a generation well versed in using computer games. It integrates knowledge acquisition, pleasure and communication in addition to the development of computer use skills. These goals are coherent to the objectives of the Division for Primary Schools of the Ministry of Education that regards the use of the computer as a basic school that should be developed in the primary school like reading, writing and arithmetic. The experiences provided in the site are based in the curriculum and enrich it with additional activities.
The student can learn the contents through the "An exploration through the waves (galim)"; to learn a given subject matter under the guidance of a teacher; to exchange correspondence in a discussion group of peers at his own classroom or at other schools; send questions to specialists; or to surf with his parents in an activity or guided tour which summarizes the learning process.
