The first site I thought of regarding interactivity was 3rd World Farmer. This is an interesting game that students become easily engrossed in. While playing the game, students/players must make decisions to keep a family of farmers alive. One must choose the crops, tools and animals that the family has for the year. As the year progresses, a readout shows at the last month to give a status update. From the events of the year, the player must choose how to proceed in the next.
This game is educational because the player must rely on prior knowledge, as limited as it may be, of farming, life in a 3rd world country, and human nature. Also, the player has to make decisions based on facts and circumstances that they encounter. This game is very much about problem solving and using the information gained each year to improve the lives of the family members. It is a fun, addicting game.
