Imagine Teacher
Fill the shoes of a promising young teacher in a brand new school and use your skills to increase your class size, develop your students and create the best learning environment.
The game begins with 4 children in the class, the player has the power to seat the children within the class and set the timetable for the week. You then have to work through a variety of mini games within each curricular subject area. As you work through the weeks, more children join the class and you must also juggle their needs and develop their skills.
Most suited to early years as all mini games are a very basic level so older children may find it too easy and become bored.
Advantages
Fine motor skills developed and good hand/eye coordination on the touch/rub the objects and expressive arts mini games.
Increasing basic maths skills. (early years)
Developing basic general knowledge within the history, science and geography mini games.
Bright, colourful graphics.
Easy to follow.
Disadvantages
Games are set at a very basic level so player may become bored easily.
In my opinion, the game is best suited for early years but there may be too much reading for them to follow.
Hotel Dusk
Take control of an interactive mystery novel and discover the secrets of Hotel Dusk. Who is Kyle Hyde - and what mysteries lie behind Room 215?
Take stylus in hand and navigate a tangled web of lies, betrayal, and murder to learn the answers.
The game begins with a very long introduction so I quickly lost interest with it as we are working with limited time in class.
Advantages
Set out like an interactive mystery novel so encourages reading in upper stages.
Disadvantages
Slow starting due to a very long (and boring) introduction, loss of interest may occur.
Suitable for ages 12+ due to violence and bad langauge.
