Games

Term 3 is in full swing and the computer lab has become incredibly popular afterschool. In particular, kids are using Wikipedia (we have a version downloaded on our server because we don't have internet access) and playing Othello. Since I showed them how to play Othello (aka Reversi or Lagno), many kids have become obsessed. They needed something more challenging than Connect Four and some of them are getting quite good. I remain undefeated so far but several games have been close.

When the tables are turned, however, the results are not so good for me. I've learned how to play Namibian chess with my grade 11s. My record in that game is equally perfect since I have lost every game so far.

What better way to share culture than with games (especially for me!)
