Welcome 2008-2009 Tabula Digita Schools!!
TABULA DIGITA’S DIMENSIONM™ IS NAMED BEST EDUCATIONAL GAME AT SOFTWARE & INFORMATION INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION 23RD ANNUAL CODIE AWARDS, 2008
Power in numbers! Tabula Digita engages students in the instruction and learning of mathematics. Pre-algebra and algebra objectives are covered through a series of missions that bring math into a world that today's students understand. Students become so captivated in solving problems that they forget they're learning but they don't forget what they've learned.

The Office of Instructional Technology (OIT) in collaboration with Tabula Digita offered the DimensionM™ Summer 2008 School Pilot Program. 10 schools participated in the DimensionM™ initiative. |
