Academic Skill Builders
February 19th, 2010 by tic@technologyinclass.com
In the past we have reviewed sites that have educational games on them (here and here). Academic Skills Builders is different though, among all the games and actvitites they have for language arts, math, and geography there is one thing that sets them apart from the rest: You can play them with the Nintendo Wii! How cool is that.
Two more features of the site that are beneficial is the “standards” section, it is where you can locate games according to standards by state (USA). Also, this research tab is a good read regarding some research about games and learning.
This review is also located on the TIC Recommends page, along with many other reviews and resources.

Actually, the thing that the students really love about this website, is that they can race each other on it, each from their own computer. I am a computer teacher and the students love to go on this site. I love it because it requires them to know their math facts, and know them quickly! It also is suitable for grades 1 through at least 8!
