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.)
