Don't get me wrong, it is a pretty cool game and I believe it to be beneficial for students. But for the true teacher? Not unless you want to repeat the 10 hr. day you just lived. It is however, very well organized and well thought out. Obviously, the developer had a teacher on hand. Would I recommend you buy it? Absolutely! How can you stand not to have it and be in the profession? Oh, and it is so very fun when your students play and become frustrated at all of the planning and "work" that is involved in our day to day lives.

I believe it can arouse the interest of the learners since it's an interactive game. Hope we can introduce it in our school. This will be an interesting and educational game for students.

Hopefully, over the course of this blog and others, we can show you and your school district how new technologies and, in this case, games can enrich the learning experience and engage learners more effectively.
