Assalamualaikum and hi all...

it's have been a long time i didn't update my blog. Sorry Dr Zaida... i'm a bit busy with a school's stuff lately.. But tonight, i'll spend my time special just for Web Development class... (-^)

Talk about an educational website, i've found 1 site that used games as learning process. For me, this site was really fun. i enjoy while exploring this site because i learn and play at the same time. The graphic for the games also nice to view. it just suitable for anyone to learn and play.

Good news for malaysian students, almost all the contents of this site was in our syllibus. so, i encourage all the SPM students, (form 4 and form 5) to go ahead! Explore and Learn!

The URL for the educational games site as stated below:
http://nobelprize.org/educational_games/

As i've mention just now, this site suitable for SPM students for malaysian. because it contains a subject that will be taken for SPM level such as physics, chemistry, medicine (biology), literature, and economics. Besides that, for my opinion all student/person that want to learn in less stress way, this site is just for you...

• third..... mmm how about LEARNING WITHOUT STRESS??? just sit properly, move your mouse smoothly, click here and there, and...... Taraaaa you've just finish studying the topic.. isn't it cool...?

Weakness of the website.
I just found 1 weakness for this educational games... well... you have enough time to made a cup of coffee while waiting for the games to get start... oppssss!
