I don\u2019t remember a time growing up when I didn\u2019t have a computer in my house. I have flashbacks of being 4 – 5 years old and even earlier playing computer games. My parents realized very early on the influence digital game-based learning could have and as such we played a variety of different educational computer games.<\/p>\n

There are three educational games that I remember playing constantly, more specifically I can remember their names! The first being Reader Rabbit<\/a> (the first edition) which taught reading and spelling;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Treasure Mountain<\/a> which taught reading, math and logic skills;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And finally, thanks to \u201cMario Teaches Typing<\/a>\u201d I have great typing skills
