Educational game assessments

Games are a dime a dozen. To be familiar with all these games is almost impossible, especially if you are perhaps not interested in the subject yourself. Here you will find a selection of projects that publish pedagogical game assessments on digital games or deal with pedagogical and cultural aspects of games.
 

Game guide NRW

Under the guidance of media educators, children, teenagers and young adults test current and interesting games at Spieleratgeber NRW. The results of these assessments and the opinions of the young game testers are published on the website. Parents and educators receive relevant information in understandable language. The service also includes workshops, parents' evenings, training courses and advice.
