Game Updates
1.7 Release - Dec 2019:
The Zorbit’s Universe is bigger and better with increased curriculum coverage and improved student experiences.
- Kindergarten activities on Nonamia have been upgraded to include more subitizing and more mathematical models.
- A new Measurement planet, Red Moon 2R, has been added to Grade 3; and the Grade 2 Measurement planet, Blue Moon 17, now features additional activities to address even more curricular outcomes.
English Version
French Version - Logging into the game is easier for your kiddos with a new user-friendly interface. Students can now show and hide their password as well as tap into the fields to edit just a single letter or number.
- Improvements like these are always the results of teacher and student feedback. To give our friends in the classroom an even stronger voice, a simple in-game survey has been added. The picture below shows how it appears in-game for students. This survey will appear once every 24hrs for activities a student has played three times. “We never connect any survey results to individual students; just aggregated and anonymous data.”
