Playfic

Playfic is a site I've covered in the past that is ideal for Creative Writing.  This is an innovative site that lets users create text adventure/choose your own adventure games (i.e. Zork).  It uses a programming language called Inform 7, that is rather user-friendly and a user can have created a game in minutes.  This is a great way to spark creativity and help students practice their Writing skills.

I highly recommend checking out Playfic by clicking here!!!

Quest

Quest is a innovative site/Windows app for creating text based adventure games (i.e, Zork).  This is a very useful way to teach programming/coding to students as it has a button which will hide/show scripting/programming language (i.e., Dreamweaver).  Also, a user can add images and video to really "spice" up their game.

I highly recommend checking out Quest by clicking here!!!

Dio

Dio is a very cool new (beta) site for creating a interactive environment.  I can see this being used for those interested in programming or game/story development.  It also reminds me a bit of those sites that create choose-your-own adventures such as Inklewriter.  The environment itself is a series of still images that a person can navigate around (Think Myst).  Also, a person can select items to examine (again Myst or 7th Guest) and even collaborate w/ others via a chat window.
