- Educational Gameland CD-ROM Project
-
- We are a small group of graduate students at the University of Utah,
- working on a few projects to learn some new skills (and maybe help
- subsidize our student loans at the same time). We've just recently
- made a CD-ROM for the PC, called 'Educational Gameland', which has a
- variety of learning-oriented shareware games and programs (over 100
- games and 1000 files).
-
- The programs on the CD are divided into directories by topic:
-
- Geograph: programs for learning US and world geography
- Grabbag: a miscellany (typing, telling time, memory games, etc.)
- Language: basic language tutors for French, Spanish and Latin
- Math: several math games for add, sub, mult, div
- Music: programs to help learn notes
- Spelling: several spelling games for different levels
- Storybk: 2 Hans Christian Andersen stories with sound recordings
- Teacher: programs for teachers (gradebooks, quiz makers, crossword
- puzzle makers, computer glossary, etc)
- Toddler: programs for very small kids (shapes, sounds, letters, etc.)
- Wordgame: crosswords, cryptograms, etc.
-
- We're hoping this CD will be useful in classrooms and at home, for
- helping kids to learn some basic skills and have some fun in the
- process. We are quite happy with how the disc turned out as a whole,
- and we're offering it to the public for a nominal fee so it will be
- accessible to schools and to families with young kids.
-
- If you have any suggestions, or if you want some information about
- what we're doing or how to get a copy of the CD, please give us a call
- or send us a message at CompuServe. (We've set up a company in our
- basement, called Pacific HiTech.)
