    A1 Always a hook, line and sinker... Ss are constantly engaged. #XPLAP
  • MrRoughton Sep 19 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A1) Good games are sensory experiences. Sound, video and physical involvement make any game better. #xplap
  • mrmatera - Moderator Sep 19 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A1: #XPLAP tickles the brain and excited the heartā€¦ You canā€™t help but get swept up by the excitement!
  • jellison23 Sep 19 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A1 #xplap if done right, it draws Ss in completely - they complete quests for the game - not because it is a learning objective #tricked
  • levondavickery Sep 19 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A1: Where to even begin with this answer...#XPLAP gets you pumped up and excited to try new things in your own class.

    A1 Games make my students smile and laugh more. A happy engaged brain learns more. #XPLAP
  • MsSpearsTweets Sep 19 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    The game is not separate from the experience of learning - the Ss actually become their characters in the experience of learning.#xplap
