Used in Class (Score 1)

When I was at the high school here associated with the University of Illinois (a while ago -- I graduated in '94), we actually played games in history class a couple times a year. One of the teachers there had actually worked with some former students to develop a couple of somewhat primitive but very fun and educational games for his classes. I don't know if they ever were used elsewhere, but they were all really good.

The same teacher ran an extracurricular group where we played Avalon Hill wargames and also had a couple board games of his own devising that we played in class as well. Very cool stuff. As for LAN parties at school, that never really happened, although the last year I was there there was a good deal of rampant MUDding going on in the lab at all hours. :)
