A call for resources for a new book

    Howdy All!

    I am going to be writing a book over the next year for Neal-Schuman that is a resource guide for teachers and school librarians. The book will be a collection of analog, iOS, and web based game resources keyed to curricular areas. The idea being, a teacher is teaching "x" and is looking for possible game resources. They can open up the book and get a nice list of recommended resources which they can incorporate into their lessons.

    I would love any game recommendations in ANY of the formats that you may have. My goal is to pull together resources that are the best of what is being used in the field. 

    Thanks so much!
