Education Arcade

The Education Arcade explores games that promote learning through authentic and engaging play. TEA’s research and development projects focus both on the learning that naturally occurs in popular commercial games, and on the design of games that more vigorously address the educational needs of players. Our mission is to demonstrate the social, cultural, and educational potentials of videogames by initiating new game development projects, coordinating interdisciplinary research efforts, and informing public conversations about the broader and sometimes unexpected uses of this emerging art form in education.

Viewdle Again

About Viewdle
Viewdle is a facial-recognition powered digital media platform for indexing, searching and monetizing video assets. Viewdle automatically looks inside the video, frame-by-frame, to create a real-time index of true on-screen appearances with unrivaled accuracy and relevance. With multiple patents in preparation, we are quickly building the world’s largest people-in-video reference database.
By unleashing Viewdle technology, content producers and distributors can effectively leverage their video assets to open new revenue streams and attract, engage and retain customers/visitors. Initially focused on providing internal and private-label indexing and search capabilities to news and entertainment media, we will soon launch targeted advertising solutions, developer tools and a consumer-facing search site.
Viewdle was founded in 2006 to revolutionize video search by solving the inefficiencies inherent in using text-based metadata and other existing tools for indexing moving media. The Viewdle engine fuses pioneering visual analysis technology, continuously developed over the past 35 years, along with other leading search techniques to go “inside the clip” and identify contextually relevant appearances based on actual video assets.

Computer Word Game from Larry's

Play Kid Games has a nice Computer Word Game that is a simple “drag-and-drop” exercise teaching basic computer parts. It provides audio, visual, and text support, and is certainly accessible to very beginning English Language Learners.
I’ve placed it at the bottom of the
Computer category on my English Themes for Beginners page.
