Mr. Sandlin, a 4th grade teacher in Wylie ISD, noticed how much his students loved computer games, even those which reinforced learning! He suggested we create a convenient location for students and teachers to find and play educational games. In addition to activities available from our ClassWorks Gold software inside WISD, students can access these websites and play the games from within the district or home. Games are marked with an "E" for elementary and/or "S" for secondary.
Thanks, Mr. Sandlin, for the awesome idea!
