Parents need to know that this game-making site contains clean content, with the occasional outside link featuring questionable content -- such as a game where naughty school kids are rewarded by a teacher removing her shirt. The site also opens the door to some large -- and potentially dangerous -- interactive possibilities: links to Yahoo Groups and encouragement to set up blogs on Blogger.com. On the upside, kids are also inspired to help their communities by inspiring social change. The site solicits donations for game design instructions, computer equipment and, oddly enough, money.
Educational value:Kids learn to create computer games and most of the games inspire social change.
