Karooba - Play Trivia - Promote Fun-based Learning - Share Knowledge - Earn Prizes > Home
Got an email from this group - would love to hear from those who have played Karooba -- here is the information they sent me:
"The Karooba site includes the following features:
* One the largest collections of education-based (over 100,000) trivia questions
* Educational games that allow you to:
o Challenge friends around the world in one-on-one trivia games
o Join a tournament on education based topics or set up a tournament of friends or classmates
o Try your luck in a new Find-it game
o Create your own quizzes and see how others score on your test
* State-of-the-art avatar tool (Karoobatar) – create your near real life or cartoon characters
* A real time communications tool (Karoobacator) – Instant message with your friends without the risk of foul language.
Karooba was created and is maintained by a computer consulting firm based in Minnesota. The firm’s staff, which is mostly comprised of parents with school-age kids, is very concerned (like most parents are these days) about what their children view on the Internet. With this in mind, Karooba was designed to be a 'safe haven' where kids can go to play online, as well as learn…and more importantly one that parents (and teachers) can trust.

RSVP to Discuss Back-to-School Survival on #GNO Tuesday on Twitter :Mom it Forward
I've been learning somethign new this week. On Tuesday nights, I 'd noticed the #gno hashtag floating around. It stands for Girls night out (although I've seen men participate) and I was asked to be a part of it tomorrow night. I wanted to learn how to host a twitter panel and do this, so here we are. Here is the information on how to do it. On Wednesday night, I and some friends are going to experiment with this to share some tools for teachers at http://edutweetpanel.wikispaces.com -- feel free to join in.
I think that learning how to do a twitter panel is probably something new to help us comprehend how Twitter works to bring us together in deeper ways than we have thought of before.Lifehack: gReactions Makes Google Reader Even More Social - The Steve Rubel Lifestream
