MIT Comparative Studies has a fascinating program about Games that Teach. Kurt Squier has written a thoughtful exploration of pedagogical issues concerning computer games.

The End of Free community weblog gives updates on which web services are still free, and which have resorted to a subscription based model. Speaking of group weblogs, has anyone checked out my new group weblog, Asiafirst ?
