Wow, thank-you Carol! :) Another great resource for my presentation... and interesting besides. My principal did have a substitute ask her why I included playing Monopoly, Scrabble or Fluxx on my plan sheet one day when I was out. She supported me, but did ask for more of an explanation, which I was able to give... but things like this just support my position!

... on Boardgame News is titled:
"Teacher's Corner: An Overview of Modern Games and How to Use Them in School"

How topical is that???

Besides... Fluxx is listed as a "Good Literacy Game." I would have added Treehouse and Zendo in both as Good Math Games and Chrononauts as a Good Social Studies Game (but he didn't have that category...) but otherwise, the lists he gives are all solid recommendations.
