Games Aligned to NY State Standards
February 13th, 2008 by Christopher HarrisBrian Mayer, writing at Library Gamer, has aligned a set of library-friendly board games to the New York State Standards. If you are thinking about gaming in a school library, this is an incredible resource to show how games can be another type of curriculum resource. Brian also provides links to all of the games.
For example:
* Standard 4: Economics Students will use a variety of intellectual skills to demonstrate their understanding of how the United States and other societies develop economic systems and associated institutions to allocate scarce resources, how major decision-making units function in the U.S. and other national economies, and how an economy solves the scarcity problem through market and non-market mechanisms.
