Chat tomorrow (Tuesday, 4/28) with Professor Richard Van Eck on the value of games as instructional tools.
University researchers use a game engine to simulate their building's fire drills.
Dr. James Clarence Rosser Jr., chief of minimally invasive surgery at Beth
Israel Medical Center in Manhattan, trains other doctors to use gaming to
improve their operating room skills.
The air traffic control tower at Academy Airport here offers a panoramic view of the runways, the terminal, the three windsocks and, off in the distance, the outlines of downtown’s biggest buildings.

Except that none of it is real.
Helps students design games and simulation for their own educational development and to help their communities as well.
This seems so much more applicable for education than SecondLife
Palestine is the first installment in a series of high quality games evolving around global conflicts. The first installment takes it starting point in the conflict in Israel/Palestine, where you arrive as a green freelance journalist. You have to cover the conflict for your paper maintaining neutrality, but as you dig deeper you will find it increasingly hard to stay neutral.
The game-parts of the game basically consist of interviews and collection of quotes from these interviews. The students need to pick these quotes carefully since the quotes have to support the angle, which the student has promised the newspaper to support.
An $11 million executive-training course for principals, modeled after best practices used in the corporate, medical, engineering, and military worlds, is starting to gain traction among states.
The Physics Education Technology (PhET) project at CU Boulder is an ongoing effort to provide an extensive suite of freely available simulations for teaching and learning physics and chemistry. The simulations are animated, interactive, and game-like environments in which students learn through exploration.
