Resources for Game Base Learning

Game-based learning is an interesting subject to me, so I thought I'd link this list of resources, originally tweeted by my pal Esther.

Of course, all games teach, but mostly they teach how to play the game. The trick is to have them teach something else, which is possible but often tricky. Situations where it's successful include things like typing tutors, and some other simple games.

Given the research suggesting certain subtle connections, it may be that Nintendo is really on to something with the Wii, the Wii Motion Plus and the Wii Fit.
