MiloMax LLC Retains TransMedia Group to Promote Interactive Family Educational Site for Grandparents: GrandparentGames.com

BOCA RATON/PRNewswire/ -- For the grandparents living away from their grandchildren who want to be a part of their early learning development and daily lives, MiloMax LLC launched GrandparentGames.com and has retained TransMedia Group to promote this interactive family educational site.

GrandparentGames.com is an online destination for grandparents to connect with their grandkids through a wide range of educational activities designed to encourage interaction, learning and fun. Through a simple video and voice connection, grandparents can interact with their grandkids from long-distance at anytime through games, animation, pictures and video all with the purpose of early learning.

"Instead of the phone call which often doesn't engage a child, our site lets the grandparent actually see, communicate and direct their grandchild through fun games. More importantly it allows the child to have a real relationship with their grandparent that just can't be achieved over the phone," said Dr. Roger Schank, creator of GrandparentGames.com.

Dr. Roger Schank is one of the world's foremost authorities on computer sciences, e-learning and artificial intelligence. As a well-respected educator he founded the renowned Institute for the Learning Sciences at Northwestern University, where he is currently the John P. Evans Professor Emeritus in Computer Science, Education and Psychology. Schank was a professor at Yale, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Paris VII. In 2002, he founded Socratic Arts, a company devoted to making high quality e-learning affordable for both businesses and schools. Schank holds a Ph.D. in Linguistics from University of Texas and is the author of more than 20 books on learning, language and education.

"While this amazing connection is being made between grandparent and grandchild, they are also experiencing a revolutionary learning program designed by Dr. Schank," said Glen Calder, President of TransMedia Group.

"I designed this program out of necessity as I dearly missed my grandkids, Milo and Max. As I was making this rewarding daily connection, I thought that there were a lot of other grandparents looking for the same and wanted to provide a heartwarming solution for them," added Schank.
