Game Classroom is a one-stop web destination for accessing high-quality educational games, and homework help for K-6 students:
* We scoured the web for the best and most trustworthy games, and conveniently sorted them according to skill, topic and grade level.
* We spent thousands of hours creating an abundance of interactive content for parents to better understand the building blocks behind their child's development.
* We created a comprehensive, free homework help section for parents/teachers to provide to children including learning tips, online resources and sample problems.
All of Game Classroom's educational content has been created by professional educators with over 200 years of teaching experience, and has been outlined using state educational standards. We hope you (and your kids) enjoy Game Classroom and find it a fun place to learn and play games!

ll About Explorers was developed by a group of teachers as a means of teaching students about the Internet. Although the Internet can be a tremendous resource for gathering information about a topic, we found that students often did not have the skills to discern useful information from worthless data.
So we set out to develop a series of lessons for elementary age students in which we would demonstrate that just because it is out there for the searching does not mean it is worthwhile.
