What’s a good educational website/ online game for teenagers who are into computer games?
Posted by: admin : Category: online computer games
I’m looking for a nice educational website and/or online game that is not too obvious with its academic approach as to turn off a 13-year-old computer game addict. Any suggestions?
I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington with a degree in Instructional Systems Technology and we studied video games and their impact on children and young adults. One the major video game manufactures (Lucas Arts) creates several educational video games. Many of their games may not appear to be educational but researchers have said many of their Star Wars games are beneficial to hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and team work.
You can view the Lucas Arts web site at http://www.lucasarts.com.
