Sometimes evesdropping makes you smile.

So, at the school today, the children were making 'Newspapers' using the computers. Reading the headlines of one or two of the children's news articles I read, "New Linking Book Discovered!" Odd, thought I, for children to be interested in something like Myst... so just to check I engaged in conversation about the game with a few of the boys. There followed the most enthusiastic conversation I've heard from children in a /long/ time. It seems that this particular school used Myst - Exile to encourage thinking and reasoning skills, as well as Language skills in the children.

Having told them about Myst V, the boys were all about finding End of Ages so they could play that too. It was a very pleasant surprise.
