Reviews:

New Media, September 1995

"I was a bit worried when I volunteered to help in a fourth-grade bilingual class in a San Francisco public school...Here's a little insight into the discs my team of reviewers especially liked and why.

"Me and My World is billed as a kid's encyclopedia, but it's really more of a reading and vocabulary tool. The cartoon host, a little boy named Timmy, shows pictures of his classroom and animal friends. Click on any object, and its name is spoken and spelled on-screen. The puzzles, which involve matching objects to their names, seemed simple, but they proved excellent learning tools. One little girl, a recent immigrant from Mexico, spent all afternoon savoring the words 'snake' and 'zebra'.
