Learning with Games and Simulations

1) Fun Brain: Can be useful for my content area and is age appropriate if I decide to teach middle school. The website is full of games and creative puzzles. It also has a "fun blog" which can be used for the classroom. The students can blog after a lesson/game in order to reflect on what they learn.

2) sheppard software: Can be used for all ages and provides a variety of games for my content area. Not only are there games, but innovative thinking which encourages students to think outside the box.
