Game Classroom Launches Just in Time for School
LOS ANGELES-(Business Wire)-September 10, 2009 - Today Earlier Media announced the launch of GameClassroom.com, a comprehensive online resource for parents, educators and kindergarten through sixth grade students. The website gives students a fun, new way to learn through online games and homework help while offering parents and teachers access to custom content for over 500 development skills. The site's content, including learning tips, sample problems and easy to understand explanations, was developed with the help of leading educators across America over a 12 month period.
“Game Classroom combines the best educational games on the Internet with comprehensive homework help and worksheets,” said Josh Solt, COO of Earlier Media. “Game Classroom makes learning fun and backs it up with solid educational fundamentals developed by professional educators with more than 200 years of collective experience. We’re confident that Game Classroom will become an invaluable resource for kids, parents and teachers.”
A one-stop shop for high-quality educational games and homework help, Game Classroom is a boon for kids, parents and teachers. Game Classroom is easy to use and enjoy. It ensures that kids will feel confident navigating the site and offers parents an ideal way to help their children improve their academic skills. For teachers, the content on Game Classroom can be leveraged to reinforce activities being addressed in class. The games on the site solidify children’s understanding of established frameworks and introduce them to new concepts in a fun and non-threatening environment. The site offers two basic categories of educational content, Homework Help and Games.
Games
Game Classroom sorts games and activities by grade level, subject matter (math and language arts) and topic according to state educational standards. For instance, at the third grade level, math games are divided into categories such as reasoning, problem solving and fractions. The language arts games are similarly divided into topics including grammar, reading comprehension and vocabulary. All of the games have been selected from the top academic sites on the Internet and have been screened by a team of teachers to ensure that the games are not only fun, but also educational.
“I am always on the lookout for new ways to incorporate technology into my classroom,” said Donna Hall, fifth grade teacher. “Game Classroom fits my needs perfectly. I know my kids will enjoy playing the games there and I’ve found activities on the site to support all of our key units throughout the year.”
Homework Help
Similar to the Games section, the Homework Help section is broken down by grade level and then further sorted by subject matter and topic. For example, one of the skills in the third grade math Homework Help section is “Shapes and Geometry,” which includes “Finding the Perimeter of a Shape” and “Isosceles, Equilateral and Right Triangles.” Homework Help features sample problems, learning tips, building blocks and extra help. Therefore, if a child is having difficulty with a certain subject in school, he or she can play games or access sample problems specifically targeted towards that particular area. Game Classroom also allows users to print out worksheets for additional help.
