It's amazing how many educational games are available. Your list proves that technology can be incorporated into all content areas. I think that some times they are over looked as great enhancers to a lesson or unit.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an amazing list. My kids love reader rabbit games and now they have a virtual world game for kids too. I think teachers are always looking for ways to bring creative and engaging lessons to students and you listed several ways to do just that. Thanks.
