Roblox: A Parents Guide - Angele Sionna, Examiner.com
Imagine if legos were electronic... that's the basic idea of Roblox.com... one of the hot new online learning game tools for kids. On the site kids can play single or multi-player games and chat with others. But don't worry, Roblox has chat filters and other kid safety devices set up so parents can regulate how and what their kids play. The creators of Roblox say this about their site, "We believe in the theory that kids learn best by making things — by engaging in the creative and complex process of imagining, designing, and constructing. Provide them with a safe and nurturing place to build, give them the requisite tools, and let them play."
