Learning games and activities
Steven Mascaro, posted 29 October, 2007

A little while ago, I started adding educational games to the Education Eye site. This is somewhat of a side project for me, so I don't get a lot of time to work on it, but I very much enjoy creating the activities and hope I can keep developing them for as long as possible.

Indeed, I'd like to be a little more consistent in updating the site with activities more regularly, either by adding fresh ones or improving existing ones. What `more regularly' means at this point, I'm not sure. I have one activity per week in mind for now, but I'll see how I go.

Being a programmer who likes new (open) programming technologies, most of the activities will use fairly bleeding edge web standards. And since I haven't got heaps of time for testing, that will no doubt limit the number of platforms supported. I also intend to avoid Flash and other plugins as much as possible (for various reasons I won't go into) which will make things even trickier. Despite these hurdles, my aim is to make the activities as usable and useful for as many people as possible.

The next game that I'll be adding to the site is Concentration, which I'll be blogging about shortly.
