September 2018 Game Library Updates
A new school year has started and that means more opportunities to add technology into your classrooms! Here are a few new games to give you a head start!
With the school year just beginning we wanted to add a variety of games that touch on a few different grade levels and topics! In this update we have included two Health and Physcial Activity games that will focus not only on physcial health, but mental health as well. There are games that take a look at simple math concepts, the Constitution as well as a Discovery Education game that is targetted towards educators! Do you think one of these games will be beneficial to your own classroom? Keep reading to see the descriptions for each new game as well as a link to retrieve your own copy!
