JumpStart's Virtual World Teaches Kids While They're Busy Having

When it comes to educational software, the trick is to make kids think they're just playing a traditional escapist game, while they're really being surreptitiously fed facts and logic problems that put their brains to work. But while many games have done this for years, the technique hasn't really made the jump to online virtual worlds - most of the kid-friendly virtual worlds are more focused on socializing and having fun than learning. Now JumpStart, a best-selling educational software developer, is looking to fill this niche with its new JumpStart Virtual World, which launched this week in public beta. The game has high production values, with rich 3D graphics, customizable avatars, and a large world to explore. The game is browser-based, and works on both Mac and Windows with a small browser plugin.
