Games that can educate: SimCity donated to OLPC project:
Electronic Arts announced yesterday plans to donate the original version of the SimCity computer game to the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project so that it can be distributed to schoolchildren in developing countries on OLPC’s XO laptop.
Although they haven’t hit their $100 goal, the OLPC XO laptop is a very interesting laptop. With it finally shipping, we can wait and see how successful it will be. Unfortunately, for individual school districts, they will have to look at different offerings, such as the Eee PC from Asus. The addition of SimCity does make the project more enticing.
