Highlighting Personal Favorites ... 


Games in Education is an extremely comprehensive wiki providing a searchable database of educational games, on- and off-line, many with links to teacher resources for using the game/s in the classroom. Truly amazing!

Create

Scratch - from the MIT Media Lab
"Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively."

Snap!
Formerly Build Your Own Blocks (BYOB), Snap! is an extended reimplementation of Scratch that allows people to build their own blocks.
