EducationCity Expands Activities and Adds New Features

Archipelago Learning, a PLATO Learning company, has expanded the activities offered in EducationCity, an online teaching and learning resource mapped to individual state academic standards in math and science. EducationCity is adding over 100 new Kindergarten through second grade activities aligned to the Common Core State Standards. Additionally, EducationCity has new search functions to optimize usability, and has recently enhanced the Subject-Select and Activity-Select user interfaces to make them easier to use and more intuitive for customers.

“Teachers tell us that students like using EducationCity because it’s dynamic and engaging,” said Andy Frost, PLATO vice president for product management. “As we maintain our commitment to offering tools that make learning both effective and fun, we’re excited to unveil our new fall product enhancements.”

With the new EducationCity features, teachers can more easily identify grade level- resources to easily integrate EducationCity’s lessons and activities into classroom instruction.
