Discussion

I've put Game design in German at the top, because it seems most relevant. I've removed Switch Wiki, because I don't think we need to link to utility wiki.

I question linking educational games, because it seems "closed"- it seems like it's for a classroom, and not outsiders. -- 216.254.10.130 [[DateTime?(2004-07-01T18:19:04Z)]]

Gollygee blocks is thinking about developing a community of its educators... and has put up a wiki about the project and how it's being used. Appropriate to link here? I see some educational game but no product-specific links. cf. http://blocks.gollygee.com/wiki/ ... Sj
