Arcademic Skill Builders is a nonprofit web site
that features online educational games offering a new approach to learning basic
math, language arts, vocabulary, and thinking skills. Inspired by arcade games
and the intense engagement they foster between the game and player, the site's
programs stem from experience, systematic observations, and research in
understanding student learning in school and social situations. "These engaging
educational games provide focused repetition practice that enables fluency to be
achieved more quickly," according to the site. Students can choose to play
"private" games, in which others cannot join the game unless they know the
password, or "public" games, in which any player from outside can join the game,
but there is no contact between outside players and the student. "We do not
store the player IDs that the student creates," the site’s creators assure. "It
is impossible for anyone outside your class to contact a student while playing
the games." The site features game titles such as Word Invasion, Grand Prix
Multiplication, and Verb Viper.
