playing with these
interactive whiteboad screens (note that you can play them
on the computer screen as well, with your child). As Kevin
Jarrett says, “The interactives are extremely high quality.
The graphics are crisp and clean, the user interface is
simple and logical, and the sound effects are pleasing and
well thought out.” There is a wide range to choose from
math, literacy, geography, history, and much more.- – By valerie taylor
