Educational Videos and Games for Kids about Science, Math, Social Studies and English 77 Educational Games and Game Builders I'm often asked if I know of any games for subject "x," "y," or "z" for a particular grade level or age group. My answer is usually yes, but I need to search my archives. Therefore, I've gone through my archives and dug up many of games that I've mentioned over the last four years that are still active online. Consider this my humongous list of educational games. 1. 2.Spin and Spell has been featured on a number of blogs over the last year. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. the World Food Programme's website offers students a large selection of educational online games and activities. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56.
Gaming education There are at least three different classes of digital games in schools. Which you prefer speaks volumes about the role you believe schools should play. The first group, the classic edu-tech games, have danced in and out of schools for so long that many kids take them for granted. Most of these programs are cute, but they fall short on pedagogical ambitions and graphic design. That doesn’t make them worthless; it just limits their effectiveness. By contrast, a handful of educators a few years ago sought to put game controls directly into students’ hands by teaching them how to build their own games. And now comes what I would dub a third approach, something that has picked up its very own buzzword before it has even reached most school gates: gamification. Most games are naturally social, which means gamification depends on that other ubiquitous web trend, social networking. Academics are creating a skin of respectability for gamification. The Scratch camp is more about empowerment.

Unity Basics: An Introduction | Blurst Technology Unity 2.5′s release is finally on the horizon, which means Windows editor! In addition to some great new workflow and editor features, 2.5 will also usher in a wave of Windows users. There is a lot to learn about Unity, when you first encounter it, so we’re going to do a series of Unity Basics posts, with an introduction to some of the core concepts. This first post answer the question: Unity’s scope makes concise definition difficult. Unity is a lot of things, and it’s used differently by different disciplines, but here’s one breakdown. An Integrated Editor Unity provides an editing environment where you organize your project assets, create game objects, add scripts to these objects, and organize objects and assets into levels. The IDE is largely stateless, in that there is little distinction between creating your levels and playing them. Different team members and disciplines use the editor differently. A Component Architecture Paradigm Unity utilizes a component-based architecture.
