Our children are growing up and learning in an environment so different to when I was at school. Online technology is a given. Video content is available at the click of a button. I remember the school only having one TV on wheels and often my class would come to my parents house to watch a TV program!

For the last month or so we have been reviewing the MWorld app and I can safely say that the boys have loved it and both MadDad and me think it is a fantastic way of reinforcing learning without kids even thinking they are learning.

What is MWorld?

MWorld is a unique interactive learning app designed for children aged approx 8 to 12 by Monash University in Australia. MWorld is all about capturing kids natural curiosity and letting it run free.

MWorld features 50 titles in its first release and is split in to Animals, Art and Music, Early Civilisations, The Human Body, Language and Culture, The Modern World, The Natural World, People and Places, Space and The Wonders of Science.

MWorld brings the world to your kids tablet and allows them to explore the amazing world we live in at home.

How MWorld Engages kids

MWorld is a true multimedia experience with video clips, quizzes, bite sized information and audio information. All of this is reinforced with an innovative game, which ensures that your kids come back to MWorld.

As they explore each of the areas they earn points and with those points they build their own world. They are rewarded for discovery and effort and friendly competition, which my boys loved. It makes learning an adventure and their knowledge an achievement.

Mini is studying Ancient Greece at school and he ate up the Ancient Greece section. In fact he became a mind of information and wowed his teacher and us. It was a great companion to the learning he was doing at school.

Win the Trip of a lifetime

To celebrate the global launch of MWorld, Monash is offering an adventurous family the opportunity to travel the world with a AUD$25000 travel voucher. Head to https://www.discovermworld.com/tripofalifetime/ and share what you would do on your £trip of a lifetime” to see how you can win your trip aroun d the world, ipads, GOpRos and more!

What to know what our trip would be. then take a look at this video clip

As a parent I limit the use of technology at home, but I have to say that we loved the MWorld App. It has taught us all things and we were all sat on the sofa watching and learning together. I like the fact that I am in control. I can have an overview of what the boys are doing via the parent portal on the website. It turned the boys screen time in to a learning experience.

Get MWorld

MWorld is available exclusively on iPad, with an Android version coming soon. Once you have downloaded the app you have access to Jammin (Art and Music), Planets (Space) and Volcanos (The Natural World) titles and two credits to unlock 2 further titles. Credits cost ££5.99 for 5 credits, £17.99 for 20 credits or £29.99 for 50 credits, which is cheaper than purchasing a book.

We love that MWorld is expandable and really engaging. It captivated the MiniMads and they were learning without knowing.

I would love to go on a cruise so we got to see lots of places in 1 trip.

Theresa (Capri + 3) February 11, 2015 at 3:12 pm

I would take our family around Europe to the places I’ve seen and the places I’ve always wanted to see. We would have to go to the island of Capri of course!

Jessica Powell February 11, 2015 at 5:13 pm

Natalie PlanetSmartyPants February 11, 2015 at 5:46 pm

This looks like a beautiful app! We love learning about the world!

Def. Thailand – Looks Amazing! 🙂

Phoebe @ Lou Messugo February 12, 2015 at 8:37 am

Looks like an amazing app. You say you remember the one school telly being wheeled into the classroom (so do I!) but amazingly that’s what still happens in my son’s (pretty good and certainly not deprived) primary school in France! The schooll has 6 iPads I think which get shared for training purposes, that’s it! There are a handful of PCs and for films, the telly still gets wheeled in. I think it was here that I read coding is now on the UK curriculum, we’re years from that in France. How different our educations are, let’s hope France isn’t getting left behind.

What a great idea! I think tying learning in with a game-style environment is the perfect way for kids to learn without even really realising they’re doing so 🙂

From Vatican City to Washington DC

Lauren | Belle du Brighton February 12, 2015 at 1:13 pm

This looks pretty amazing, sadly we don’t have an ipad but i’ve made a note to check back for the android app soon, as both the husband and I have android tablets!

Pinkoddy February 12, 2015 at 1:37 pm

It certainly seems a great way of tapping into children’s interests to bring their some educational content.

My Family Ties February 12, 2015 at 2:18 pm

It is great to see a game which is educational too, anything to keep the kids interest and also learn a lot from it too 🙂

Jaime Oliver February 12, 2015 at 4:01 pm

what a super app – I would love a trip of a life time to america 🙂

Clare Mansell February 12, 2015 at 4:13 pm

I really like the look of this app, by the way the Australians in that video clip already look like they are having a trip of a lifetime! 🙂

Mina Joshi February 12, 2015 at 4:36 pm

This app sounds like fun for children and adults. I would love a trip to USA!! well who wouldn’t?

Kate Williams February 12, 2015 at 7:31 pm

I think it looks great! There are so many benefits of kids being able to use apps these days and this one looks lovely!

Hannah Staveley February 12, 2015 at 7:42 pm

I do have to admit my kids learn both with normal activates and others on-line.

mellissa williams February 12, 2015 at 9:09 pm

This sounds an interesting game, like a Multi User Domain as they used to call it. Anything that makes learning fun is great!

Queen Boudica February 12, 2015 at 10:13 pm

That looks fantastic. The boys use the iPad for everything, it astounds me how quickly they learn to use it and how much they can learn so easily.

Echo February 13, 2015 at 4:22 am

This looks wonderful! I can’t wait until it is available on Android! Thank you so much for sharing this at the #SHINEBlogHop!

Clare Nicholas February 13, 2015 at 9:36 am

That sounds so interesting and very educational. Our children are the first generation to get so much of their learning online x

Cass@frugalfamily February 13, 2015 at 6:01 pm

This looks so cool. We home Ed , but haven’t seen anything like this before! My trip of a lifetime would be round the world. But must include Japan, Iceland and Canada!

Anything that encourages the kids to learn is a hit with me

The tecnology and music is a good element in the new way, generate much

Bryony Braschi February 16, 2015 at 6:30 am

I would go to the Galapagos islands and Hawaii.

Brandi Clevinger February 19, 2015 at 12:10 am

I’m going to show my oldest son this app. He likes apps that he can build and maintain his own world while learning. This looks like a lot of fun!!

Thanks for sharing at inspire Me Mondays!

Chris from MWorld February 20, 2015 at 7:20 pm

Wow – some terrific ideas over here: Jamaica, the Galapagos, even good old Oz. We can’t wait to see your entries over here at MWorld. Good luck to everyone!
