What's wrong with educational games (and how we can fix them)
I’ve been designing, building, playing and promoting educational games (both digital and non-digital) all my working life. Starting out as a TEFL teacher, games were a huge component of my classes: from number games with little kids to complex role plays with adults. As I began to work more with digital media I started to design games for web and mobile: everything from location-based drawing games to a million-selling multi-level world for kids to learn English. Games provide a unique environment in which students can step out of their everyday persona and try on new ways of thinking and behaving. I’ve never had to think too hard about whether games are a good thing for learning – it’s a no-brainer for me, and should be for anyone with an ounce of common sense. And yet, for all my tub-thumping about how great games are as a tool for learning, I’ve found myself let down time and time again by the quality of most educational games. We make educational games for the wrong reasons

77 Educational Games and Game Builders
I'm often asked if I know of any games for subject "x," "y," or "z" for a particular grade level or age group. My answer is usually yes, but I need to search my archives. Therefore, I've gone through my archives and dug up many of games that I've mentioned over the last four years that are still active online. Consider this my humongous list of educational games. 1. 2.Spin and Spell has been featured on a number of blogs over the last year. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. the World Food Programme's website offers students a large selection of educational online games and activities. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56.
LA VIE EST UN JEU • L’école dont vous êtes le héros
DE NOTRE HORS-SÉRIE - Créer des jeux vidéo, gérer un réseau social ou monter des podcasts, tels sont les cours donnés aux élèves de Quest to Learn, un collège new-yorkais considéré comme précurseur par certains spécialistes de l’éducation. Un matin de l’hiver dernier à New York, à l’intérieur d’une école publique tout ce qu’il y a de plus classique, dans une salle ordinaire, Al Doyle, professeur de collège, donne un cours un peu différent des cours habituels. A 54 ans, cet enseignant est un vétéran de l’éducation, avec trente-deux années passées à faire cours un peu partout dans Manhattan, où il enseignait à l’origine le graphisme et l’infographie. Dans cette école, baptisée Quest to Learn [Soif d’apprendre], il donne un cours, Sports for the Mind [Sports pour l’esprit], que tous les élèves suivent trois fois par semaine. La leçon du jour porte sur le mouvement de l’ennemi, en l’occurrence une ignoble troupe de robots hérissés de piquants errant dans un jeu vidéo.
Free Kid-Friendly Avatar Creators
This seemed to be the most popular site that was sent to me. It is hosted by the Wildlife Conservation Society and the New York Zoos and Aquarium. Students can choose their gender, their skin tone, and add eyes, hands, feet and 'backsides' that are all animal parts. To use this as an avatar, students would have to click 'I'm Done' and then save the image to their desktop to use. It is free and does not require a login account. This site allows you to create a personalized avatar for free. that looks like a superhero. Reasonably Clever Lego Avatar You can use this site to create a Lego avatar. The Simpsons Movie Avatar Creator I'm not sure if my district blocks this site, but it's an obvious winner with kids! alpoy.com This site allows a user to upload a photo from their computer and add lines, shapes, color and text to it. You can then get a link to the image and an embed code. This site, though written in another language (Portuguese?) Ruth Cohenson (@tearoof)

Quest to Learn, ou les leçons du jeu appliquées à l'éducation
Des projets ambitieux en éducation, il y en a eu des tonnes. Des réformes puissantes qui « allaient révolutionner les méthodes d'apprentissage ». En réalité, bien peu d'entre elles ont été appliquées assez longtemps pour porter leurs fruits. Parce que le projet coûte plus cher que prévu, que la technique n'est pas à la hauteur ou simplement parce que le milieu éducatif n'est pas prêt à modifier ses pratiques en profondeur. En 2009-2010, quand le monde a entendu parler de ce projet d'école new-yorkaise qui basait les apprentissages sur l'usage massif du jeu vidéo, cela a soulevé beaucoup d'enthousiasme, mais aussi beaucoup de questions. Quest to learn (Q2L) allait-elle survivre au choc du réel? Il semble que oui. Accompagner plus, transmettre moins Contrairement à ce que l'on pouvait imaginer, les élèves qui fréquentent Q2L ne sont pas des mutants. Mais les deux univers diffèrent sur un point capital : la perception de l'erreur. Quest to learn encourage aussi la créativité de ses élèves.
