Today was our first Friday Computer Games Day at Study. Study teachers could send students, individually or with a partner, to play CD-ROM games in the IMC. The IMC has a large variety of game CDs in its collection. All CD-ROM games are loaded on specific computers so students can sit down, double click the icon, and start playing. Partners are allowed to unplug the headphones so both gamers had listen to the soundtrack. The first Games Day is a little slow, but all attending students had a good time. Word will spread. While sports games like Madden Football and NHL hockey are always popular, other favorites include SIM City, RollerCoaster Tycoon, Battleship, and the Zoombinis. Visitors are always welcome to watch the flurry of activity. It can be crazy at the beginning of each study period, but once everyone is settled the gamers are very into their game.
