Constructivist K-2 software
  • SimTown by Maxis
  • SimTown is designed to teach students the basic
    concepts behind economics (supply and demand),
    ecology (natural resources, pollution and
    recycling), and city planning (balancing homes,
    businesses and recreation) in a fun,
    easy-to-understand simulation.

Constructivist K-2 development
  • At this developmental stage, students are
    learning based on previous knowledge and
    experiences. These previous experiences lend
    themselves to the knowledge that will be gained
    in the lessons.
  • This program accounts for what we know about
    students of this stage by having them rely on a
    lot of previous knowledge and experience to
    produce a successful town. Along the way,
    students are also acquiring new knowledge, based
    on conversations with others, and trial and error
    in the building of their town.
