iKnowthat.com has expanded its online multimedia activities for children with the launch of the Bee Hive – a massively multiplayer, safe virtual world for playing, chatting, and learning. Avatar bees can play educational games with each other like Tic Tac Toe, Connect the Dots, Pollen Catch, and Bee Bop.


    Rooms in the hive include the Bee Bop Dance Club, Honeyspoon Restaurant, and Meadow. The School includes rooms in all curricular areas and lead to iKnowthat’s fun learning activities. The Bee Hive includes safe chatting, avatar and room personalization, casual gaming, and fun educational games. iPoints are earned for playing any activity on the site and then used to “purchase” virtual items.


    Educational bee characters explain the world of honeybees. Safe chatting is supported by only allowing choices from pre-selected phrases. iPoints earned by playing fun learning games are used to “purchase” virtual items for personalizing your bee and cell.


    Gary Kiliany, President of iKnowthat stated: “At iKnowthat, we make learning fun for children by using highly interactive multimedia activities, massively multiplayer interactive gaming, and online public galleries that allow children to show off their creations. We have become a trusted resource in homes and schools to help get kids excited about learning and gain exposure to the limitless potential of the internet.”


    All activities are highly interactive, and use state of the art web multimedia including heavy animation, sound, and digitized children's voices. Other activities at iKnowthat include fun educational games in all curricular areas, user generated content galleries where kids can show off their creations, creative activities like Paint, Widgets, and Quizzes World Wide that include online saving and showing, and educational videos.
