Informal Learning

College@Home just posted a list of the 25 best games that involve learning in some way.  The list is nicely categorised, and while some of the selections are predictable, the sheer number and detailed explanation makes this a handy post indeed.
Virtual Learning: 25 Best Sims and Games for the Classroom (College@Home)

Here is a delightful general knowledge game from the BBC.

After this week’s earthquake in the UK I discovered a game called Stop Disasters, which is hosted by the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, who I confess I hadn’t heard of before this week.

The game aims to educate players on the impact of different types of disasters on communities around the world, and was received favourably by students when we used it as a model to demonstrate the benefits of running simulaitions.
