[LM_NET] SHARE: Games available online

["Garties, Peggy J - ECB" <Peggy.Garties@ECB.ORG>]

To coincide with the American Library Association's National Gaming Day on November 
15, the November Surf Report from Wisconsin ECB focuses on games. Serious games are 
challenging computer games designed to teach complex concepts using the technology 
and design principles of commercial video games. We point you to a number of games 
that teach concepts in science, social studies, health and other subject areas. 
These games are mostly free, but you will need to download software to your 
computer and test the programs to see if they meet your needs. We have also 
included a number of "less serious" games that can be played directly online for 
those looking for simpler activities.

Happy surfing!
