For some time now, I have tried to walk the walk of this belief with my own students, see http://www.coolclass.ca. I also know that there are many other educators who may have an interest in using games with their own students, but are not sure where to start, or know what current research is telling us. It is with the goal of encouraging and supporting fellow my educators that I created a free Moodle-based online course, "Learning With Gaming for Educators" at http://www.wecanlearnonline.com. I would be most grateful if you would share this resource your contacts and networks as you may deem appropriate. Sincerely, Bill Belsey P.S. If you would like some further information about my background with respect to ICT and education, you would be most welcome to visit http://is.gd/chO0U. Hello,

I'd also suggest Quizlet - especially now with their "voice race" and that voice is now a stable aspect to it. Also motivates students to know a teenager created the site! David Larry,

As usual, congrats for your superb site and the undoubtedly huge effort you make to keep it!!! I know this best of list is a bit old, and maybe I'm missing a newer one, but anyway and as I am highly interested in creating flash games for my students with free online tools, I'm recommending this one(http://www.superteachertools.com/index.php), which I'm sure you already know but which I also think could have a position in this or a newer list. Very best, Sara Hi Larry!!!

My daughter likes to play online games so I am exposing her to educational and fun games, as of the moment she's enjoying <a href="http://www.YourKidsClub.com" rel="nofollow">YourKidsClub</a> games, it also has classic games like pacman but with a twist, she needs to answer simple math problems to win the game.

Thank you for sharing such wonderful and helpful sites. I was in search of online maps or graphic organizers and what I found on http://www.classtools.net/ is simply incredible, my students are working a lot and they are publishing some maps on a blog, as you can see at http://www.5liceo.splinder.com/ Luv from Italy Ester Hi Larry!
