"Edutainment"

Edu...What?

This is the combination of two parts of two words that also represents two purposes for this type of software:

1. To Educate

2. Through Entertainment. Thus "edutainment."

Remember Math Blaster? Oregon Trail?

E-learning professionals are learning more and more that games used in the midst of lessons increase the interest in and the retention of material that is presented in this way.

There are some wonderful "Titles" for your church's discipleship/Christian Education program.

Neil McQueen, who helped the Presbyterians develop their "rotational Sunday School model" has followed a call that has led him to identify and make available this type of software. The reason: most of these software titles are not profit-makers for the larger chain Christian/religious bookstores. Therefore, Neil's non-profit Sunday Software buys the discs and/or the licenses to allow him to sell these.
