    Thanks a lot! I discovered plenty of new things.
  • Hi Sam thanks a lot for this awesome overview of these online educational games.... thanks to you I have discovered some excellent tools to enhance my online lessons.

    However, some parents at my school aren’t too happy (in fact a few complained in writing) when they learn that their children are signing up to educational sites and platforms due to privacy concerns (the students are asked to provide personal identification info when signing up). What is your take on this? Or could you recommend some that have stricter security protection settings? TIA

    Many thanks Sam💮💎 You are the best. What about VR, AI applications in class teaching?

    I used to love to teach history using programs like Oregon Trail. I also used to teach problem solving and critical thinking using Zoombinis.
  • Hi, love the content. watching your vids to build a product to help and improve the learning of a 3rd world country. was wondering whether its possible to get you on board for this project to advise us and our team on how we could make a successful product that would help under privileged students learn better.
  • @Thedvdbchannel
    I want to ask you something "out of topic": I saw a vid of yours talking about Forms to PDF/word. Do you remember what video was? Btw, nice vid on gamify learning.
