Privates
I've just finished playing privates and i did think that the information they give about sexual health and STIs is very good, however, the game is a bit silly!
Trafalgar Origins
Really was rubbish at this game, i'm guessing i'm not supposed to be a pirate. However, the hand eye co-ordination skills children could learn from it would be great, and I'm sure children would find it extremely enjoyable, especially boys. Also, it would be a great task for a history lesson.
1066
So guys, just played the 1066 game - it took me a while to work out how to play as there are lots of instructions - but i got there in the end (and even won!!)
Personally, i found it a bit much, it took far too long, but i think for a history lesson it would be a brilliant idea. I did really enjoy the story at the beginning, it was very informative :)
Also some of the insults on the game i thought were a little unsuitable for primary aged children, as well as the blood and the fighting!
Hiya guys, i know what you're thinking... its not a monday and i'm blogging. Well a few weeks ago i missed a lecture so i didnt get to experience the online games, so i've gone on blackboard and hopefully, (fingers crossed)have found the links to the online games so wish me luck :)

Sorry i havent been blogging a lot guys, I cant get on to my blog at our house for some reason so i have to rely on the ICT suite in uni!
Last thursday we had ICT in rhosilli room - it was fab. I loved playing on the wii fit, nintendo ds and the xbox, I rang my family as soon as i got home and told them to buy an xbox 360 kinect! I did not enjoy prince of persia, totally did not understand how to do it! Was a really good lesson, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Mandy for setting it all up for us :)

I believe that computer games should be included in todays society, especially in a childs school life. With technology becoming more advanced children need to be given the opportunities to try it out.
