Game analysis: Stop Disaster

link to the game.

About the game:

This game is about planning to prevent natural disasters or minimise their effect on people.
Player can choose different landscapes and then develop it into a safer place. The game is online and that is a plus, because it does not need long preparation(downloading installing, account making) before playing.

a) Which subjects can combine with the game? Name the subject/subjects.

The first subject that comes to my mind is geography. because the description of places and their natural properties are one of the main features of the game. However perhaps "civics and citizenship education" is also related. Since having a general knowledge of city/home planning and prevention is also important in being a good citizen.

b) Which skills can be developed during the game?

apart from geographic information that player gets in the game, she can learn planing, optimal use of resources, decision making(where to invest), time management and crisis management.

c) Which digital competences can be developed during the game?

Since the game is sort of simulation, children can learn that computer simulations are valuable resources to understand different phenomena. and learn how to work with them.
