Why a Gaming Page?

The truth is I have played a lot of videogames both as a kid and as an adult and I can tell you that I learnt far more economics from Simcity than I did from my My year 9 Accounting teacher.  I learnt more about history from Civilization and Call of Duty than from a text book.  Above all else I had a hell of a lot of fun playing endless hours of 4 player MarioKart and Goldeneye as a teenager as  my mind worked overtime trying to keep ahead of mates to outwit, out strategize and generally punish them at every opportunity.  Games are excellent learning tools and every kid knows this - see what you can learn about them.

100 Learning Game Resources

From Ahbijit Kadle at Upside Learning.  

When writing the whitepaper about Casual games, I did a fair bit of research and looked at several hundred web links. While doing so, I documented a few of the better ones. I’d been mulling posting these to the blog. So here they are - a Top 100 Learning Game Resource list. If you are already developing learning games, these links will broaden your horizons, as they did mine. If you are contemplating beginning – it might help to look at links that interest you to get some grounding ideas.

This list isn’t categorized in any way, and it’ll stay that way until I figure out a good way to tag and qualify them in some way. Most often such a list brings up debate about the quality of content linked to. In putting this list together, I worked with Tony Karrer and his eLearning Learning site extensively to match links that are popular based on social signals, specifically in the Games and Simulation categories.  Click here for his full article.
