Experience the Culture of China—Virtually
A new, cost-free Web-based role-playing game aims to help students and adults learn more about the culture and languages of China. Called Zon/New Chengo, the multiplayer game was created by Yong Zhao, Michigan State University distinguished professor of educational psychology and technology. A native of a poor, remote area of the Sichuan Province, he has become a highly influential researcher in Chinese education. The goal for the player is to fare well and advance socially and economically, with players moving from “tourists” to “residents” and finally to “citizens” of modern China. At the different stages, players encounter quests, have access to learning materials—including live Chinese tutors—and are able to organize and participate in social activities.

Follow the Monarch’s Migration
The Journey North program engages students in a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. Students share field observations with classmates across North America. They track the coming of spring through the migration patterns of monarch butterflies, bald eagles, robins, hummingbirds, whooping cranes, gray whales and other birds and mammals. Students also monitor the budding of plants, changing sunlight and other natural events. Since the program is based on seasonal changes, the standards-based lessons focus on southern migration in the fall and winter and northern migration in the spring and summer. For almost all the lessons, there is a reading–writing connection. Teachers must register to take part in the program, but registration is free.

Go on a Math Mission
Tabula Digita has released a new version of the educational video game Math Evolver: Virus Origin, which teaches pre-algebra skills. This engaging math program has an ESRB Rating of E10+ (Everyone 10+) for mild fantasy violence and is suitable for children in grades 6–9. The game captivates students with exciting visuals and first-person action adventures while incorporating key algebraic concepts. The contemporary simulation format features high-end 3-D graphics, sound, animation and storylines comparable to those found in most popular video games. But the math game offers far more than action-packed entertainment: the five missions embed lessons aligned with the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and adhere to learning research in the areas of math and gaming.
