The Web site is designed to help New Jersey fourth grade students learn about the State's history. This Web site allows us to present history in an entertaining way, while encouraging our children to learn. The New Jersey Office of Information Technology and the Department of Education formed a partnership to create the new educational site.
State law mandates that all fourth grade students study the history of New Jersey.
The Cartoon History Web site uses the latest technology to provide an entertaining approach to learning. The Cartoon History of New Jersey includes colorful animation and interactive games. Lessons range from the Continental Drift to the Lenni Lenape Indians to famous people from New Jersey. The site's principal character is Professor Foulkii, an animated descendent of Hadrosaurus Foulkii, New Jersey's official State dinosaur. New information, curriculum enhancements, and informative video clips will be added regularly.
