This may not be at the top of the educational 'needs' pile, but I can see this program being used to engage students and shepherd them into some very nice synthesis of their learning.
I'm new to this program, but it appears to have some very nifty features: Thinking Worlds.
The site has a free version, and of course a pay version. The free version is enough to create simple simulations and games though. I can see this being used to create games that reflect the learning of a student in almost any subject area. If someone who sees this decides to try it out, please let me know what you think and how it came together for you and your students. In the meantime, I'll introduce it to some of my project-based learning students to see what they can do with it.
Happy educational gaming!
