The assignment was to explore the following web resources:
Serious Games Defined at Wikipedia.com
http://www.seriousgamessource.com/
http://www.seriousgames.org/index2.html
http://www.marcprensky.com/
Socialimpactgames.com
http://www.dodgamecommunity.com/
http://www.digra.org/
I visited each page and found that I liked the http://www.seriousgames.org/index2.html because it showed a lot of what is being used for educational purposes and it also explored a little about the millennial generation and how education has changed. On the home page, there is a 20 minute movie that was awesome. I would like to tell everyone that has the chance to watch it. The link is: http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=6117726917684965691&hl=en
I also liked seeing the http://www.dodgamecommunity.com/ page. It has a great list of all the military based games. I haven't played any military based games but I would like to try one eventually.
I played "Physics - Waste of Space" on the Socialimpactgames.com website. I found it very educational as well as fun.
I am not sure what genre of serious game I am interested in at the moment, but I enjoyed and learned from these pages.
