#19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

http://arcaplay.com/

This site is a repository for embedible games that can be integrated and shared amongst sites. The part I like the most is the puzzle games as these have great potential as a basis for the implementation of games learning theory into libraries.

There is research into games as a learning platform, and with the games console generation, we need to consider this medium as offering another channel for us to become a part of peoples lives and to integrate learning content and context into this medium.

We also need to consider games as a communication channel for the community, and the development of a platform to facilitate the creation of simple games by the community, can be a powerful and receptive medium.

This site has a number of game genres but the true power is in the capacity to mashup and mix this into the content of your own site. . .
