Interactive Learning Sites for Education - Home TeacherTube - Teach the World Zondle learning games Check out this video by the creator of Zondle... Zondle describes their app this way: "Zondle allows teachers to create or set questions that students can play in over 40 games". These games have been created with serious brain research in mind to create the maximum learning for the fun (you can actually read the research on their website if you are so inclined). In a nutshell, this is what I've been experiencing: The verbiage is British English so it sounds a bit weird in some places. It is primarily web-based but it does have android and iPad mobile versions with somewhat limited capability. The Fuzzball Fling (think Angry Birds) is my students' top choice of game. While they are described as appropriate from pre-K to Higher Education. There is an Edmodo Zondle-users group at this link and a Google form for suggesting changes. By far, my best experience with Zondle has been using the Team Play option. For the shear volume of choices, Zondle is in a category alone.
