The graphics are amazing but the fundamentals are great. The good thing about educational CDs is that old ones (Win 3.0 even) are DIRT CHEAP and usually compatible with most new computers.

The trick to filter the relevant from the trivial is to select games that are used in school. Not only have these been developed to cover the curriculum but they have been tried and tested by teachers. Playing these games means the child is having fun practising the lesson content and aiding their retention in learning ( 75% can be achieved through practice - see the learning pyramid). Another key point is the amount children can learn from each other, and this is where these ICT games have a great advantage.
