Teaches: a virtual world for younger children

CTR Review

Designed in Israel by Personiks Ltd. (a division of Compedia), Wonder Islands is a "personalized, enriching, and safe online world for children ages four to eight." It is not clear how the site is monetized. It includes educational games (critical thinking, math and reading), parental control features, and a management screen so that parents can monitor what children do. The site is run by Personiks, which is the online subsidiary of Compedia.
