Never mind, I found an image of the Language Arts CD. It was called Switched-On Schoolhouse. :)

Oh man, that is so cool! Where did you find it? Do you know how to access it? I, too, have grown past the need for it, but if I ever have kids, this might come in handy for them.
Edited by Miss_Desperado If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
Back around grade 5 / grade 7 - 2002/2004 (in Alberta, Canada), my mom used a piece of software to help us with our homeschooling. It had a variety of subjects, there was a quiz at the end of each lesson, and it was a really well-put together piece. You could customize your profile with a variety of themes, at least one type of quiz had this cool rocket theme where you were zipping about in a space station trying to answer the questions... I learned a lot from that piece of software, and the gamification of the whole thing always made me look forward to learning. I remember there was one video in a water module about not wasting water; it had a song and everything put to videos of people flushing, brushing their teeth, and washing their hands. I may have grown past the need for it, but it still brings me fond memories and I'd like to see if I can find videos of it online.
I thought it was called Operation Schoolhouse, but when I searched that term, all I found was a charity. I don't know if it was widespread or not, but I'd love to find it if possible.
