Very+'spatial'+games

This blog entry is due no later than the start of class on 04/26/07.

For this blog entry you will discuss 'spatial' games. Games are often used as learning tools. You will examine game play for the construction of geographic knowledge. Make use of one or more of following resources to compose you blog entry:
 * The Geography Games listed on the Standards, Lessons, and Games page.


 * The GPS games listed on the GPS links page.


 * The Geospatial wiki - otherwise known as //Geospatial Disc Golf//


 * Other games you know of that have a spatial component.

NOTE: remember, while this assignemnt is supposed to be a blog entry about games, it should be written with attention paid to themes like games and geography, the use of maps in game play, mapping technology and the learning experince, or something with a similar focus. You are writing a cartography blog. Two pages of how fun you think World of Warcraft is is not going to cut it ... although, something on the use of maps and the represenation of place in that realm may be worth investigating.

Please feel free to express you creative, fun loving side on this blog entry. After all, you are blogging about very 'spatial' games. Have fun, and blog on! ... patrick
