Online virtual games

Do you agree that our kids should be steered away from Facebook or Myspace?At my elder daughter age, I wouldn't even want her to have her own email account.Actually the Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids.They can use it to research school reports, look up words using the online Dictionary.Kids who are old enough to type a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world.Belinda(my younger daughter) is one them.

It was kinda surprise to me when I got the newsletter from the school today.My elder daughter's school are encouraging the students and teachers in grade 3-6 to participate in a virtual online word travel adventure game and wants them to be physically active playing the game.

What is Wemuv?Wemuv is a new virtual world and social network for children that provides an educational online gaming experience.It is developed in partneship with physical and health education canada and the WEMUV inc .The most unique about the Wemuv school challenge program involves the interface between the website(www.wemuv.com)and the specially encrypted pedometer that tracks a child's physical activity steps.The activity will be recorded by the pedometer as steps will act the currency for the world travel.The game content is designed to educate the children on general topics including world geography,culture,earth science and social studies.Isn't this cool?

There are some really great sites for kids under twelve.Here are my favourite sites which my daughters is playing
.

Club Penguin - A virtual town,play games or chat with others. Games and chatting are free, but if you want to own a pet,buy clothing or decorate your igloo,then you'll need to buy a membership.

Buildaville-A free to play virtual town.You can buy plush toys and animals in Build-A-Bear Workshop play games and adventures to earn Bear Bills to decorate the bear house,buy clothing and many more.

Poptropica- A multiplayer online game and virtual world in which children can travel, play games, compete competition,and complete "island missions".

They are many more online virtual games that are suitable for young kids.It's also important to be aware of what your kids play on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online.Just like any safety issue,it's wise to keep a close eye on their activities.

This sounds like an interesting idea! I really like the link between the world travel points and physical activity. I am looking forward to hearing more about this program in your daughter's school!

Can anyone recommend the top Remote Desktop software for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central patch management
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our society, and I am fairly certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further innovates, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about every once in a while.
