Flash applications as thinking games
Hey! Try this game (programmed in flash, found by Toby Booth in our course). This is a typical internet flash application that will get you addicted in no time. It may be that you can use it with junior years to explain some simple physical applications of mechanics laws in Physics.
Another one called ouverture facile (initially in French, now translated in English) is a very good way to make students discover the way internet pages work / introduce them to a different logic (although going to level 12 will take you a few hours, and past is challenge. I’m personnaly stuck in level 24 =)
It can be used to set as a contest through a term, typically in a math class. The further the level, the more difficult they become (as in any game really), and they also involve using other software (such as voice recording then editing), or reading about number and bases, or decoding, etc.
All in all, a very mind-opening, use of technology, addictive game!
