Estamos terminando la orgía consumista de este último mes, navidades, reyes, fin de año, cenas, comilonas….
Y como generalmente hoy empiezan a disfrutar de los reyes los niños fijémonos un poco en recursos de juegos educativos…..y además, como ultimamente no he puesto ninguna listita de esas que circulan en internet y que tanto me gustan y me divierten. Hoy traemos la siguiente del blog Educational Games Research Research and discussion concerning instructional video games:The Top 10 Free Educational Video Games.
