Title: Samorost(s) being used in classrooms
Post by: ABoretz on September 23, 2008, 09:04:30 am

In contrast to the teacher who wished to use Samorost 1 in his classroom but was put off by my favorite character (see the "samorest" thread where he detailed his complaint http://www.machinarium.com/machinarioforum/index.php?topic=61.0 (http://www.machinarium.com/machinarioforum/index.php?topic=61.0)) here are two examples of teachers who successfully used both the Samorost games in their classrooms to engage their students.

I don't see why it wouldn't be used in any way possible. In fact the game is a big succes and also a piece of art so there's nothing to be wondered about ;)

Well, it may be possible in other countries but in mine - no way.

I spoke to my classmates about the Amanita Design's games but they didn't liked it cause "it wasn't so cool" in their minds.
