Welcome to Edgalaxy's New Educational Gaming Section
Friday, October 16, 2009 at 10:31AM 
As a lifelong gamer I have always understood and appreciated video games are an excellent learning tool for experimentation, immersion and all the while a great deal of fun. Earlier this year I was part of a Victorian Government funded research project examining the use of vdeogaming in the classroom which simply reinforced what I already knew that if we are selective about what we play and more importantly ask ourselves why we play games then they are excellent engagement and learning tools.
So I have created an educational Gaming section to Edgalaxy that aims to share some of the great games available to us (both commercial and free) and will be looking at resources for us to actually create your own video games. There will also be the odd piece of professional reading related to gaming in the classroom.
I will be specifically steering clear of direct educational games such as typing wiz or math's blaster as this is not gaming to me. Instead I will look at some mainstream games such as Wii Fit, Monkey Island, Civilization that have thousands of learning opportunities that are not so blatant. I also intend to find a few gems that you may not be aware of too.
Anyhow Ihope you nejoy our new section and stay tuned to this space. Game on!
fun, gaming, videogames
