A COTS game with potential: SPORE
Wednesday, September 06, 2006
Spore is a game by Wil Wright, the same guy who made Sim City and The Sims.
The game allows players to evolve from single-celled organisms to sprawling civilization. Pretty heady, huh? Although this game hasn’t been released yet,
(and I doubt it will become vaporware), I think it merits our attention.
What science teacher wouldn’t want to use this game to explore how organisms adapt to their environment and grow?
Cool stuff.

I’ve posted the presentation that Wil gave a few months ago (http://idarknight.blogspot.com/2006/03/spore-sim-everything.html) and this is one game that I’ll buy a system for - hopefully that system will include the Wii.

Bill,
Have you explored Second Life at all, or though about integrating it somehow.
I know some businesses are using it for teleconferences. Surely school classes can get some kind of use from it.
