Virtual Games

Littlest Pet Shop LPSO Virtual Pets - BUTTERFLY
$19.99
My daughter has had LPS VIPs before and enjoyed them very much. Just got this LPSO for her birthday and was unable to start an account for her. First parents must create a parent account. It took me 45 minutes to get through to get that account set up. Then I was not able to get in to create a "user" account for my daughter. All in all it was 1.25 hours wasted. The "Help" section noted that developers are working on this problem.

So I cannot say yet if this toy is fun, educational, or durable. Right now, it's an incredibly frustrating toy.

Get it together, Hasbro!

Learning Online with Games, Simulations, and Virtual Worlds: Strategies for Online Instruction (Online Teaching and Learning Series (OTL))
$28.00
As a new entrant to Technology Enhanced Learning, I found this an excellent introduction to using simulations, games and virtual worlds for learning. The book overall was very easy to read with inciteful common sense descriptions of the different types of games and sims as well as design strategies. Strategies for getting support from management before implementing simulations and games for learning is also discussed as well as effective strategies for using these technologies.

This is my first review (of many books bought from Amazon) I would recommend this book to anyone interested in simulations and serious games.
