Jump Start: A Secure, Interative Site Making Learning Fun

As kids become more and more versed in computer-learning, a secure, interactive site called Jump Start enables them to utilize technology in an education yet fun environment. From the site, "JumpStart is an award-winning adventure-based 3D virtual world that is super-personalized, wildly imaginative and really fun, but don't let that fool you - it also teaches math, reading, and critical thinking skills so kids get a real jump start in life." Two reviewers with children a bit older than mine took a look at the Jump Start. One said, "I enjoyed customizing the character...my daughter picked out pink hair and an outfit that would certainly end up on every worst-dressed list, but she had a ton of fun being the one to choose her character's accessories." The other was thrilled that the site is secure and also thought that the "3D aspect of the adventures was the most amazing part of the experience." Though my own 2.5 year old (recommended ages are 3-10) is a bit young for the site, we tested it out and will definitely bookmark it for future use. For $7.99 a month members receive additional 3D adventures and the ability to download others directly to your computer. Though it's not always possible to make learning fun, JumpStart certainly achieves this goal making it a perfect choice for kids who want to use the computer and parents who want their kids to learn.
