Looking back on elementary school, problems can oft look comical. For example, my biggest foe was neither personal nor academic, but a logical journey: namely, the final level of Zoombinis. I struggled for what seemed like weeks (it was probably a few hours) with my eyes glued to the orange Macintosh, my palms sweaty with the pressure of the situation.
Like I said, life was tough back then.
But I know for a fact that I was not alone in this problem -- one of my good friends and I had a serious bonding experience judging the attractiveness of the Mary-Ann or blonde ponytailed creature. In class this week we discussed how educational games like Zoombinis is becoming ever more popular as a learning tool for students young and old as education is becoming more and more technologically driven. Oregon Trail, MathBlaster and Where In the World Is Carmen SanDiego? keep their appeal because, for all intents and purposes, they're secretly educational. I may have been learning to solve logic problems, but I definitely didn't know it at the time.
Knowledge Adventure is a site solely dedicated to providing free educational online games for kids, ranging from ages toddler to 12 with a wide range of subject matter. I don't know about you, but I'll be playing the animal game.
