  I have submitted some volcano games to Primary Games Arena.  Click here to see a list of Flash Volcano Games that can be used in Primary School lessons and home.  I was hoping I could have a widget wrote today that would include all the games inline on this blog post but I keep getting distracted by people wanting to use my laptop to check their flights are still flying.

  The games are here.

• Tim Rylands presentation at Games Based Learning

  Tim is a great presenter, sit back end enjoy.

  Usually when we talk about Games based learning we expect that children will be the consumers of the game, not the creators. With more creativity coming into the new primary curriculum it will be interesting to see how classrooms:

  1. Become creative
  2. Decide on a target audience for their creations
  3. Publish their creativity
  4. Get assessed on their creative outpu

  I hope that within the next 5 years pupils will be making their own games of a high enough quality and engagement for us to share on Primary Games Arena

  Does anyone know if its possible to drag and drop in flash on android.  I want to play a flash game on my phone and it appears that the click and drag functionality doesn’t exist or isn’t supported?

  Am I missing something?

  The HTC Hero comes shipped with Flash Lite, sound and video works although some games are a bit too heavy for the graphics processor to handle.

• When is Primary Games Arena used?

  Date: 2009.12.16 | Category: primary games arena | Response: 0

  As part of Primary Technology’s commitment to transparency we have been evaluating our website usage statistics and have decided to release this interesting finding. Primary Games Arena is a site for Primary School pupils to learn while playing games. What % of total hits do you think come outside of school hours? Lets say from 4pm to 8am.

  These figures only include UK visitors (to ensure accuracy of findings).

  

  I bet that gets a few brains thinking.. PS the % of learning is not the amount of learning, it’s the amount of visits to the site. Primary / School Email is used 67% during the school day and the other 33% outside of school hours.
