You Game-You Gain with DimensionU!

We took part in the DimensionU blog tour. While I often have a hard time with online gaming or virtual world reviews, this one was quite different. Before my children even had a chance to try out the site, I took a spin at it. (I wanted to make sure it was something I would approve of.)

What did I think?
I thought the site was great! Not only is it something my children love, but I had fun playing the games as well!

What is DimensionU?
DimensionU is an online site that allows you to play math type games, while earning rewards! Not only are you sharpening your skills/brain, but you are also able to earn cool stuff if you choose the educational allowance feature. What, learning=Fun? With DimensionU, they definitely make learning fun!

DimensionU is on a mission to make learning a lifestyle. They want students to talk about learning, to talk about their education the same way they talk about games or dating or sports. They want their learning achievements to be a character trait they talk about as easily and proudly as they do about the new jeans they bought with hard-earned savings. DimensionU wants education to become fun again. They want to make it so fun that kids can’t wait to get onto their systems and when they do, they don’t want to leave. We want to make students partners in the education process, to motivate them so much that THEY ask the questions about the things they don’t know, that THEY beg us to learn more … to solve the challenge, to finish the puzzle, to gain the knowledge.

DimensionU is a universe of educational video games in which students can play with or against each other, globally, while learning key concepts in math, science, social studies and literacy. The data supports this – in the next 10 years, there will be over 1 billion virtual world users. In the US alone, by the time you’re 21 you’ve played 10,000 hours of video games (in 8 hour work days, that’s 3.5 years – more time than you spend in your average first job out of college!).

Why not make learning fun again!?

Warning: Not only will you learn something while playing DimensionU games, but you will want to keep coming back for more. This site may cause brain stimulation and you may be surprised at how smart you really are! It’s scary! ha ha!
