I found the "Mission to Learn" website early last month, and read an article that is not only insightful, but also illustrates why advancement of learning approaches is not only good for us as individuals, but also essential for the future of our planet.

The article I'm referring to is "26 Learning Games to Change the World" written by Jeff Cobb.

If you have the urge to see what sorts of educational games might be out there that are geared towards making a difference in the world, this is an article you should make every effort to read.

You will find...

• browser-based free games,
• desktop-based free games,
• and desktop-based "fee" games

If you want to see what's happening in the area of immersive simulations, you may find this article of real value. Go to http://blog.missiontolearn.com/2008/04/learning-games-for-change/ to find out more.
