The IT Guy

Educational Games

Question: Where can I find useful, educational games appropriate for classroom use?

The IT Guy says:
Internet based games have proliferated and may be a good bet if your classroom computer is online. Try www.funbrain.com and www.quia.com to locate free games and activities that students will enjoy. A major advantage of using online games instead of installing freeware or shareware on your computer is you avoid the possibility that these programs will cause conflicts or system instability on the computer. Many online games will work best with an updated version of Internet Explorer, and many require free Flash or Shockwave plug-ins. To find good freeware/shareware, try CNET's www.download.com and click the Home and Education category. Select a provided category or click "All Popular Downloads" to see what others worldwide like the most. Also try "Our Picks" to learn what the CNET editors recommend. Macintosh OS X users can use Apple's website http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/.
