Hi Neale. Per our discussion this morning, here are the links to additional professional educational/social issue games that you should expose your students to during your class period and ask them to blog about what they learned through playing the games, what they like / didn’t like, what elements they’d like to use in their games, etc… You should model how they write by actually playing and blogging about these games in your own blog. Food Force (www.ff.fighthunger.org/index.php/game/) (world history relevant / current events relevant) Budget Hero (www.marketplace.publicradio.org/features/budget_hero/) (economics relevant) Ayiti: the Cost of Life (www.gamelab.com/game/ayiti) (world history / current events relevant) Color Me Hungry (www.pbskids.org/sesame/#/games) (nutrition relevant) Fatworld (www.fatworld.org) (health, nutrition relevant) Fix Frank (www.diabetes.org/youthzone/fun-games.jsp) (health relevant) Sneeze (www.routesgame.com/games/?challengeld=2) (health relevant) Germinator (pbskids.org/fetch/games/germinator/index.html) (health relevant)
