Educational Video Games VS. Traditional Instruction
The purpose of this wiki is to provide resources to teachers who are considering "gamifying" their classrooms. One way to do this is to use educational video games in the classroom. Another way is for the classroom itself to become a game. My primary focus is the use of educational video games. However, for those who want to create an even more in depth experience there are resources for turning your classroom into a "real" virtual world.
Below are educational video games. The first three have been designed specifically for use in the classroom. The last, Civilization, is a commercial game that has been used for educational purposes.
