Scrabble DS 2007 Edition

There comes a time when you have to question the logic of a video game. I enjoy playing the board game scrabble, I find it challenging and often I learn new words from looking them up or from those i'm playing with.

By this I don't doubt that scrabble would be a welcome addition to a classroom, perhaps as something to play during wet breaks etc. I cannot however encourage the buying of a video game based on a board game that offers nothing more than the origional.

This is a prime example of what to avoid in ICT in schools, technology for the sake of technology. Why buy an electronic version of something thats good enough in its non electronic state.

What i'm saying is - buy a scrabble board, not the game.
