Homeschool Review- Clever Dragons

I signed up for a free 15 day trial of Clever Dragons today. Looking for some enrichment games for Elijah and didn't want to have to worry about what was being taught or if it was in line with our curriculum or faith values. It is very appealing aesthetically. It is Gender based. You choose either Always Icecream (for girls) or Clever Dragons (for boys) it does have bible games but the other games are not faith based.

When Elijah logged in he made an Avatar. He picked a pet that he named and he can play with. There are daily challenges for him to complete. One of the ones he completed today was about internet safety that I was impressed with. Clever Dragons teaches about internet safety. Which is awesome because you can interact with friends on Clever Dragons. There is a disclaimer that says all posts have to be approved and the chats are moderated. I really liked that they email you progress reports. The games are repetitive so the kids will remember what they learned. I like the price. It's affordable and I don't mind paying it if it's something he is actually going to use. They also have learning apps on the AppStore. 

What does Clever Dragons and Always Ice Cream teach?

Basic to Advanced Math, including Geometry Geography Language Arts Science Biblical Studies (can be enabled or disabled) Arts & Music Keyboard Typing Classical content, including Greek & Latin roots, Latin, and Attic Greek Spanish, Chinese, French and German (Including click & learn pictures and type-what-you-hear audio games) NEW: Dozens of teaching videos tailor-made especially for our sites! NEW: Expanded Beginning Reading with many more games on the way!

The most important thing is if he is going to use it which time will tell but I do see us paying for a subscription. We used an iPad to play these games and it worked well but you will need to download puffin for the flash technology.
