What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about what they're learning in the site's many games and activities. Do you think that computer-based learning tools teach you more than your school lessons -- or is it just a different way to learn? Do you look forward to playing educational games as much as you look forward to "regular" games? Are the lessons similar to your school lessons or are you learning new things?
