Episode 41 – Games and Learning (feat. Andy Howell)
Educational therapist Andy Howell joins us for a conversation about games and learning. Plus, impressions of the strategy game Star Wars: Armada, the retro game NES Remix, the easy-going art game Hohokum, and the now classic RPG Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.
Your discussion reminded me of an article I read this week that Microsoft included games like Solitaire and Minesweeper in the first PCs to teach people how to use a mouse. In Windows 7 they gave people the option to download the games to teach people how to download games. In Windows 10, the games will be back to teach people to navigate touch screen technology.
