Chicago Public Schools to Use Tabula Digita's Game-Based Algebra Software in After-School Programs
To meet the growing demand for stimulating, yet curriculum-rich activities in its after-school programs, Chicago Public Schools will offer Tabula Digita's DimensionM™ for Pre-Algebra and Algebra educational video games in four of its after-school program locations. This marks the first step in the roll out of the immersive learning program, which will enhance students in learning and applying mathematics in math classes in classrooms across the district. "Our millennium students are digital learners and as such their brains are wired differently," said Sharnell Jackson, Chief eLearning officer for Chicago Public Schools. "We felt compelled to identify exceptional teaching and learning tools for our after-school programs that offer a high-level of engagement, are rich in competition, and correlate to the core instruction being given in the classroom. We found all of that and more with the DimensionM™ multi-user virtual learning environment."
