New generations of learners require new methods of teaching. As computer and Internet use become more widespread among students of all ages, educators must be prepared to adapt to the needs of this interactive and innovative generation. Gaming provides an excellent alternative to traditional learning activities. Learners can engage in various subject material in a fun and competitive way.
This website is dedicated to educational games across subjects studied in American schools. These games, the majority of which are free, can be used as supplemental resources for teachers. A brief description and link is provided for each game.
For more information about further research supporting educational gaming, please be sure to visit the section entitled 'Why Games?' The resources in that section represent the many resources available online that provide information and answer questions to help teachers who are considering using games for student learning.
