[games_access] Contactlist GA, for pedagogues / teacher ...

[Barrie Ellis]

Personally, my focus at the GASIG is not on educational nor games used for rehab.  Games for leisure and pleasure is my main focus here, and how to open that up to as many people as possible. Yes games have side benefits of education and maintenance and development of skills and abilities - but it's the fun side I think is so important for the GASIG.

That said, these might be useful:

http://www.inclusive.co.uk/

But as for access, and if normal games for fun type games, they can go to www.gamebase.info, www.ablegamers.com, www.deafgamers.com, www.audiogames.net and so on for accessibility info on games. Not ideal, but until we get a ratings system in place...

Sandra, 

I was hoping that our thread in the forums would cover something like this, but there weren't many responses.

What information are you hoping to provide the teacher? If you're just looking on providing links we already have a link page on our website.

  Hello,

  do we have a contact list about GA topics for pedagogues and teacher?

  Imagine a teacher wants to use game in the school
  and he needs information about Game Accessibility.


  At the moment the games do not have information about accessibility.
  How can they find out what games can be used?


  I have:
  www.audiogames.net, http://gameport.blindzeln.de (German)
  www.gamebase.info (One Switch Games)
  www.world-of-genesis.org
  www.lifetool.at
  www.igda-gasig.org

  It would be great to have one very good list.


  Best regards,
  Sandra
