Great to connect vocabulary practice with global awareness.

This is a terrific program that can be used by an individual student or with a group of students. The various subjects that are available can be used for review (multiplication facts, basic language reviews, identify countries) and for exploration of new information (learning a new language, famous paintings). My students have used it for both review and personal exploration, especially in regards to language. They have enjoyed filling up their bowls with rice to help others while having fun. It is engaging, individualized and motivating even when you get the wrong answer.

Over all I think that this is a good website and one that could assist several classes with learning new or reviewing old material. I also really praise this product for bring world hunger to the attention of young students. It is a great way to talk about the need for assistance all around the work.

My overall take is that although it is a bit clunky and can be somewhat difficult to get a class group setup for your students, I highly recommend it. I found that the take away message from students was not only reviewing content, but that they have a connection to those in need throughout the world and that they can literally help others through the United Nations World Food Programme.
