When I discovered drawing tablets for all three game consoles, my enthusiasm for this blog doubled! I love the idea of bringing drawing back to this increasingly paperless world. Plus, as a burgeoning graphic designer, I wish I had this type of stuff when I was a kid! No longer are video gamers stuck simply consuming the games that others have made; now they can express themselves and share their creations online. This is a big step forward in gaming. They make drawing tablets for the Playstation 3, the Xbox 360,and the Wii.

I hope everyone has a happy new year! It’s 2012, and things have changed a lot since I started teaching in 1996. Cursive is no longer being taught and technology is fully infused into the classroom; I can remember when it was a big deal to use PowerPoint in lesson plans! For this reason, I’m going to keep adding fun, educational games to this site. Video games are here to stay; I truly believe that we can have fun with ones that are intellectually stimulating (versus crazy-violent). As always, I’d love to hear your feedback on these games or any suggestions for games I should add. Enjoy!
