[Yr11 Information Technology] computer games

[David Dawson]

We use some here - but most online stuff is firewalled!
Online games?
There is catchmentdetox.net.au for water stuff ...
Atlantisquest and teen Secondlife for 3D gameplay, design and devt.
Offline ....
Or there is stuff like the Sims2 for for machinima creation and Spore
which can be used for early years Science - evolution theory.
In fact there are lots - some I have heard, also use Age Of Empires to
simulate some historic battles.

Non educational? Hmm, watching a virus scan or hard disk repair itself
once seemed to have some of my year 7's in awe. It is mildly interactive
when you decide what to remove or if you should analyse or directly
defragment. 



Snipes <http://tr.im/i77j> is good and the first network game, even
older than Doom. I started the first wikipedia page for this many years
ago. ;-)

Useful in what way?  'Doom' might be considered useful if entertainment
and mindless violence is their cup of tea.
