About: I'm an instructional designer at the Hunter College Campus School. I support the effective use of technology in schools and classrooms.

I am also keen on the role of games in education. Please find below an ever-changing picture of me. You know, just in case you were curious.

Good text-based gaming links
Wednesday, July 18, 2007

I’m a long time text-based gaming fan. I fondly remember Zork and I enjoyed many titles from the now-defunct Infocom company.

About 7 or 8 years ago, I discovered multi-player text based games (MUD’s) and I am pleased to report text-based gaming is alive and well. I prefer MUSH’es rather than MUD’s, really just a preference. I’ve included some excellent community sites which I encourage you to visit.

and of course,

(which is probably the most direct descendant from Zork)
