MyWorld™ is fully integrated into the geography curriculum of Montessori Children’s House classrooms. The software is designed to be used independently by children age 3- to 6-years old. Once the software has been installed, the user simply double clicks the file icon to open the application.
Each title contains a three-part lesson. Using sound and animation, continents or countries are introduced. In randomly generated sequences, children are asked to identify each. Puzzle pieces are randomly scattered on screen for children to put back together. Students who master all three lessons will also acquire technology skills recommended by the US Department of Education for exiting kindergartners, including the ability to open and close an application, point-and-click, and drag-and-drop objects on screen.
