What is STEAM for SCHOOLS?
STEAM for SCHOOLS is the educational version of Steam, specially designed for use by teachers and students in a classroom setting either in a school or an afterschool or summer program setting (site). All functionality that isn’t core to the education experience has been disabled in this special version of Steam. The only game available through STEAM for SCHOOLS at this time is Portal 2 and the Portal 2 Puzzle Maker.
We heard loud and clear from hundreds of educators that they wanted a place to learn about and share compelling, engaging and creative content for using Portal and Portal 2 in their classrooms. Here is that place where you can sign up to receive for free the educational collection of Portal 2 and its Puzzle Maker through STEAM for SCHOOLS, the school-friendly version of our game distribution service; access lesson plans and unique puzzles; and join a teachers-only community forum to share experiences.
Tap into Teach with Portals to find free content, information and tools to help you build innovative curricula. And most importantly, become part of a community that shares ideas, methods and experiences to teach students in profound new ways.

Right, passing this along to my old physics teacher.
This guy shows episodes of Modern Family and that clip of the woman breaking her nose with the watermelon launcher on The Amazing Race as education, ergo this should be perfect.

At least she won't overinflate their self-esteems.

Hmm, an Aperture Science teaching program. I wonder if you would get to shoot Mantis Men.

GladOs: You are all fat and ugly monsters, that's why no one like you and why your parents abandoned you to me.

Honestly, video games truly don't teach you much. You can learn a little from it, but much more from paper and lectures.
