Hi!
I’m doing my thesis for my Barcelor Degree in Psych in Padjadjaran Univ, Indonesia at the moment, and it’s about why curriculum should provide games as their teaching method, especially for children in concrete oprational stage. But I’ve got problem for seeking several aspects of games which contribute to learning. Would you like to help me?
I would be really appreciate if you could send me your book, since it’s very hard to find it in Indonesia.
Thank’s..
Warm regards,
Adisti Soegoto

Actually it’s not my book but Raph’s. Here’s his website though: http://www.legendmud.org/raph/
Good luck!
