What People are Saying About the Wonder Rotunda
By Eric Garfinkel on August 29, 2009
Scholastic Administrator Magazine:
"So many of the online educational places I visit are dominated by annoying ads or are a front for getting you to participate in a social networking community or are trying to sell you one thing or another. Wonder Rotunda is like a breath of fresh air with hundreds of educational opportunities, but no commercial come-ons."

Travel and Leisure Magazine:
"Can’t afford to take your kids on an African safari? Or maybe you're just looking for a fun way for them to learn about different parts of the world so they have a greater appreciation when you do book that trip. Well, last week I was introduced to a new website that solves either problem: Wonder Rotunda.
As you travel, you’re given lessons—learning, say, about the formation of the moon or what makes an animal a marsupial. There are a ton of other features on the site—take a tour! Who knows? Maybe it will inspire your child to become a globetrotter, or even a future A-List travel agent?" See the link below to read the article.

We'll meet two entrepreneurial parents who took up that challenge and created new games that aim to make computer time an engaging learning experience for school-age kids." Guest: Eric Garfinkel, Creator, The Wonder Rotunda. See the link below to listen to the interview.
Fox 5 Television (DC):
"It's an educational internet game that could add some adventure to your child's life. As Fox 5s Beth Parker tells us, its a refreshing change from what kids normally see on-line." See the link below to watch the story.
