Educational Gaming

I attended a 2 hour webinar entitled Playing Games to Enhance Learning with Dr. Atsusi Hirumi as a presenter this afternoon.  Plan to attend the follow-up face2face presentation next Friday.  The presenter engaged the audience by asking us to visit gaming sites and then used online polling to obtain feedback. The SCORM modules that I am sharing in this blog are low tech gaming solutions (in comparison to scenes and lifelike figures).  I will be posting some examples of more sophisticated gaming software pertinent to the health sciences later.  I did add a couple of educational gaming blogs to my Blogger site to follow. I attempted to search for additional one at the Technorati (Blog search engine) http://technorati.com/ site, but the search engine was not working.

Gaming sites to explore:

• 360ed  http://360ed.com/ (not open to the public but interesting)
• TabulaDigita http://tabuladigita.com/
• Gazillionaire http://www.gazillionaire.com/gaz.html
• Games2Train http://www.games2train.com/
• Disaster in Franklin County http://cpheo.sph.umn.edu/cpheo/umncphp/franklincounty.html (free but requires registration)
  

What other sites or educational gaming blogs do you recommend?
