this website is cool. elementary or secondary will enjoy educational games. I only tried a typing game under Language Arts. There's something for all teachers here (Math, Social Studies, Science, etc...).

This website allows you to enter vocabulary words and be able to practice the words by clicking on two options, say word or use in a sentence. Once you have learned the word you are able to test as well as play games.

very cool graphics, games are fun and the one i played challenged me (it was about tmes tables). Nice and worthwhile for students.

This is a fantastic web-based game for ages 11+ to understand urban planning, neighborhood dynamics, and diversity. Players are one of 12 characters in Boston's Chinatown, navigating the city and trying to find a place to live, a livelihood, recreation, and cultural expression. The game helps learners develop a broader view of all the factors that form community and how different communities interact with each other and larger social forces. From the website: "Participatory Chinatown is a 3-D immersive game designed to be part of the master planning process for Boston's Chinatown. You assume the role of one of 15 virtual residents and you work to complete their assigned quest - finding a job, housing, or place to socialize. But look out! Sometimes language skills, income level, or other circumstances can make your task more challenging. Whatever your experience, you'll then be tasked with considering the future of the neighborhood by walking through and commenting on proposed development sites. Every one of your comments and decisions will be shared with real life decision-makers. "

I got lost in Boston's Chinatown one time.

This game is set up by the UN World Food Program and touts itself as the first humanitarian video game. Available on MAC and PC platforms and is available in several different languages, but unfortunately not Spanish. From the website "Set on a fictitious island called Sheylan riven by drought and war, Food Force invites children to complete six virtual missions that reflect real-life obstacles faced by WFP in its emergency responses both to the tsunami and other hunger crises around the world."

This is geared toward Middle to High School Students. You download the game where players have to pilot helicopters, airdrop food to camps, negotiate with rebels. This is a free game to help players realize all the obstacles in helping others in third world countries
