In the gaming chapter I looked at the website called "Alice." This is a website you would see being used with older students, but one thing that I really liked was they have a section for teachers to get instructional materials and textbooks to use with the classroom. Alice is a 3D programming tool that makes it possible for students to tell a story, play interactive games, or to share a video on the web. Alice also has a blogging section that you can go and read her blogs or teachers and students can also go on there and create their own blogs about what they are creating or what they might have questions about. This type of gaming can be tied to the curriculum as shown on the website and again this is one of the concerns listed in the book, but this website does a great job of covering up this problem for teachers and students. This site, as they talked about in the book, is a student-created games that lets the students develop online projects and they can be as advanced or simple as requested by the teacher. This site would be a useful gaming site within the classroom.
