thanks good information

This is great for kids aging 4-7 years old. There was a research where doctors have proven thatn games could also boost child's brain power at early age.

Ive always wondered would my education have improved if all these resources where available to me when i was young.

The world is going digital. Lets see what the future holds

It is a pretty good idea to use what kids like, video games, to learn more in class. Moreover, the pdf is helpful as it is really complete !
I wish I had used video games to learn when I was little ... :)

This is a good initiative. They should be a part of academic curriculam all over the world. The only care we should take is that children dont lose the sense of reality.

This was really helpful for my classroom, thank you so much! I'm always looking for ways to incorporate fun into learning with my students

Great, that's very helpful.

So helpful! Thank you!

I worked for a pilot project in Cyprus last year, which was web based and full of e-learning games for kids from 3-6 years old. I saw some of the results and I have to say there is lot of future in this field, especially with the kids that are more and more used to electronics and internet.

The people in charge of education really need to come to a realization that this type of learning format does work well especially with the younger generations.

Thanks for sharing this awesome resource.
