It also works for other video sites, just use the embed code. The most important step is changing the editor to HTML mode before pasting in the text. But watch the video and it should be clearish.

It is Mac and PC and seems to play pretty much anything in full screen mode.

 Interesting that in it the people actually state “we could sell this” but here it is on youtube for free. For us as teachers it really allows us to find some up to date resources and discussion starters. I particularly liked this one as it reminded me of the old Wonderful World of Disney documentaries that played on a Sunday night back in the eighties.

I have also came across a few more games thanks to other blogs.

Stop Disasters: Has a good sim city feel to it like electrocity that i have blogged about earlier yet this gives scenarios based around fire, flood, earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunami.

Ayiti: This game from TakingITglobal is about resource use. Also worth looking at is the TIG site itself which is an online community designed for youth who want to make a difference.

Darfurisdying: I guess the title gives it away but coupled with the darfur layer in google
