Today at the Globaloria workshop I had my first experience with computer games designed for education. Of the games I tried the one that got my attention and interest was Free Rice. This game addresses hunger and allows the player to actually accumulate real rice grains that will be donated. The game is relatively simple but engaging based on the moving graphics of rice added when the correct answer is given and removed when an answer is missed.
Angie's comments about this game were similar, except she did not seem to find anything that she wanted to learn from this game. I would like to know how the motion of the rice grains was achieved. Neither of us commented on the usability of the game.
