I can answer questions on how to operate games from miniclip.com and primarygames.com and other sites with children's games. I can help with webkinz as well. However I can not give tips on Runescape but I can on ToonTown because I play. I can recommend great and appropriate websites that you might enjoy that you don't know of. I can also help with some games from Nick.com, clubpenguin.com, and disneychannel.com. Sorry, no help with anything from Cartoon Network.

Kids` Internet Games - Virtual Worlds in Educational Games


Expert: Kelsey R. - 5/29/2008

Question
I am looking for something that I can use to teach secondary & post secondary students through virtual world scenarios. I would like to have them complete tasks that require solving problems in science & engineering, using group interaction with some specific goal or outcome.

Do you have any experience with this type of thing or ideas as to where to look?

Answer
It depends on what age group it is.

Say for instance, it's Elementary to maybe some of High School. Toontown doesn't cover science and engineering, but you do get to interact with other people and complete fun tasks and get rewards.
I know there are computer softwares that aren't interactive with other players, but they are used to reach goals.

Doing some research I have found http://edisonlab.com which is available as a demo. This lets you design simple electronic circuits and it is supposed to be fun.

Let me know if you have any more questions, and feel free to include any more information to help me help you. :)

Regards,
Kelsey
