What is GetNoodles?

GetNoodles is an easy-to-use software program that asks kids educational questions whenever they use the computer. Children must answer these questions correctly before resuming their online and other computer activities. Parents can rest easier knowing their kids’ online sessions will be interrupted with learning-related questions – and that they must work for the right to get back to the Internet, e-mail, etc.

How does it work?

GetNoodles intermittently breaks up kids’ online activities with educationally relevant, multiple-choice questions. By answering the questions correctly, the child can return to Web surfing, messaging or other online diversions. The program will continue to prompt the child until the correct answer is entered.

How much control do I have over the program?

Parents can enter custom settings for each child based on age and subject – as many as six children can be covered by one parental account – and how often questions interrupt each child’s online session. In addition to testing kids in basic subjects like English, math and history, GetNoodles tracks each child’s total time online.

Can I change my child’s settings from another computer?

Yes. Go to the GetNoodles website and login. Once you are logged in, parents can change subject, timing and other settings.

Can I turn it off when I’m using the computer?
