What makes a game fun? It's a question that seems central to the process of making good games. But it's an elusive and subjective question. The dictionary defines 'fun' as a source of amusement or enjoyment, but that's not very helpful.

I don’t visit my own blog very much anymore. Seems like I don’t really have much new to add to the conversation about games in the classroom. I still love them and think their role will continue to increase. Just for any loyal followers of my escapades over the past several years I thought I would give an update as to my activities.

In Intermediair van 10 februari schrijft columniste Roos Vonk over het fenomeen dat groepsbeslissingen beter zijn dan beslissingen die door een individu worden genomen. De oorzaak is het slecht delen van onze kennis. We hebben het in vergaderingen over bij iedereen wel bekende voor- en nadelen en die wegen we tegen elkaar af. De voor- en nadelen die slechts bij een enkel individu bekend zijn blijven vaak verborgen. Wij mensen hebben de neiging om juist bekende informatie met elkaar te delen, informatie waar we het over eens zijn.

The G4LI will also evaluate game prototypes and introduce them, along with accompanying curricula, to an existing network of 19 New York City area schools; results in the classroom will be tracked. Based on the findings, the institute’s goal is to expand its research and game development to all K–12 grades.
