Edutainment Links
// August 2nd, 2010 // No Comments » // awesomeness, e-learning, games
As you all know I do a fair bit of research in e-Learning and look at several hundred web links monthly. While doing so, I like to document a few of the better ones. So here you go – 100 Learning Game or as I call them Edutainment links. If you are already developing learning games, these links will broaden your horizons, as they did mine. If you are contemplating beginning – it might help to look at links that interest you to get some grounding ideas.
