Exploring Colonial America

Project Based Learning Kits and Graphics-Toolbox software were created by a team of designers with over 20 years of experience in graphics design and programming and a team of passionate and ambitious teachers.

With the Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) being implemented across the nation, these core learning standards were created in order to instill in students deep thinking, critical analysis, and creative problem-solving skills. Our Common Core Learning Project Kits are an essential tool to add to your academic toolbox. These project based learning kits are the key to helping teachers add rigor into project based education, meet the Common Core Learning Standards, engage their students in learning, improve student assessment, incorporate valuable technology, and publish students work in a variety of relevant formats.

Educators are very excited about these units because all kits contain:

• An interesting Performance Task to excite the students to learn the lesson
• Essential Questions, Big ideas, and Reflective Questions to inspire discussion and critical thinking
• Vocabulary
• Useful Resources
• The Common Core Learning Standards in which the lesson aligns
• Valuable Hands-on Technology Projects
• Tutorial Videos to teach how to create the projects
• Templates
• Student Handouts and Teacher Instructions
• Checklists and Rubrics for Assessment

As you engage your students in learning with Project Based Learning Kits, you can be confident that you are aligning your curriculum with the standards that are expected of all grades across our nation, that you are offering rigorous differentiated learning opportunities, and that you are providing your students with 21st century instructional technology.

You can also take advantage of these great student projects to compile dynamic visuals for hall bulletin boards and school websites. They are a great way to showcase students’ work, showing parents, administrators and colleagues how effective of a teacher you are!

Inspiring students to incorporate relevant technology and learn to present their perspectives in formats that will be valuable for future classes and adult careers is fundamental to the goals and principles of the Common Core and Core Curriculum Standards and we are happy to help support that initiative.
