I continue to marvel at the power of the Web and the way it has completely transformed how we transact business and conduct our lives. We connect and communicate, we buy and we use content (books, music, movies, information, etc.) in completely new ways. In that brief second after you click the mouse, just consider how personalized and targeted the response is to your purchase on Amazon, music selection on iTunes, flight scheduling on Expedia, restaurant reviews on Yelp, friend connections on Facebook, and searches on Google.

Exciting news! DreamBox Learning was named the "Cool Site of the Day" on April 2, 2009. It's truly an honor and everyone at DreamBox should be proud. We always thought we were cool, but it's nice to be recognized by others. Great job DreamBox!

This was a very exciting week at DreamBox Learning. When we launched DreamBox K-2 Math we heard from hundreds of kindergarten, first and second grade teachers around the country telling us that they wanted to use DreamBox and our online math lesson games in their classrooms. Since our January launch we have been piloting our DreamBox math games in 150 kindergarten, first and second game classrooms around the country. Teachers are using DreamBox in their math clubs, with their math all-stars and high achievers, as well as with their math intervention students who need math tutoring.

The DreamBox Adventure park is a magical place where kids can choose which adventures they would like to explore. You have the choice of four themes, all of which are available to DreamBox players.

Mathletes, human calculators, and DreamBoxers get ready! World Maths Day, (math is known as maths outside of the U.S.) is coming up on March 4. Students from across the globe will add, subtract, and multiply to gold-medal glory.

If you have children, chances are good that they brought home a box of valentines this week…you may wonder what to do with this box of small cards once the candy is eaten. Well, before you recycle them or put them away in a memory box, try this fun sorting activity. Help your children look for ways to sort the valentines into groups (such as “Valentines with hearts” and “Valentines without hearts”). Once they get the hang of it, try using multiple categories.

As we get closer to launching DreamBox Learning’s first product, an online adventure game that teaches serious math, and we see more and more kids in beta testing, we’re realizing how many advantages there are to online learning games.
