#games4ed Archive

#games4ed discussions cover ways in which gaming can be used in education. Games mirror the way the human mind was designed to learn. They motivate players to take risks and actions, persevere through failures, set and achieve increasingly difficult goals, and devote attention, time, and effort to acquiring knowledge and skills. All this while the game is tracking the player’s actions and assessing the player’s achievements and skills. Isn’t this what we want from education?

@MGrundel I love making them, but they are time consuming. Many of my Ss say it's their fave activity, though #games4ed

A8) Use games I think are fun as a starting point. Go wherever interest flows. A Ss led setup would be ideal. #games4ed

@mpilakow My Ss show a good gender balance in response to @classcraftgame. Still, I find regular gamers tend to connect better. #games4ed
