The 20 Best Blogs About Game-Based Learning

Adults these days (especially those who love themselves some Dateline ) seem really into chastising video games those crazy kids are into as symptomatic of the human race’s inevitable, steady decline. Like every hobby and medium, legitimate concerns regarding these technologies certainly exist, but their complete lack of validity is decidedly not amongst them.

Does games based learning work? «

One of the questions educators ask me about games is “ Does games based learning work?” . It’s a reasonable question, but it’s not the what people mean. Firstly, I can’t begin to answer without also asking them in return “ Is play a serious activity?”
