Digital Games

Evaluating Digital Games for Learning

An educational software program that I found very beneficial is SmartTutor. This website has educational lessons and games. There are many resources and it is for many different ages. They have math games that range from continuing patterns to doing algebraic equations. These games would fall in the remembering, understanding, and applying categories of recognition.

I found another website, ABCya.com, which has a variety of games. A game that I found was for kindergarten through third grade. It is called nouns and verbs and the students have to pick out the nouns and verbs in sentences. This game would fall under the understanding category because the students have to understand what a noun and verb are to play the game.

A third place that I found educational games was math-play.com. There are many different games for different age levels. The game that I played was a soccer game that subtracted two digit numbers. This game makes sure the students understand and can apply what they know. There are many different education websites, games, and software systems that are very helpful and can help students learn.
