Part of my project is to create a porta portal or webpage that will be for "serious" gaming(middle level)-meaning games that have value to curriculum and learning, reinforcing new skills. I was anti-gaming since most of the games I have seen kids play are of the "twitch" repetitive nature. I have crossed over to the "dark" side now, after visiting the Champlain College where students research, and create games. One that is being worked on is "Darfur" where the kids actually went to Africa to understand the issues and bring attention to the cause. Besides history, social awareness, speed, problem solving-when the user needs to decide how to find water for the family and babies die...compassion and empathy is there too.
So, please send me any links or games that you play or know of that are good.
Thanks.
