Aiming to make learning more fun and engaging for students, a growing number of educators are turning to digital games and simulations to help teach core curriculum.
This practice raises a number of key questions, such as: What does research say about gaming’s potential as an educational strategy? What best practices exist to help educators incorporate gaming into their classrooms successfully? How can schools ensure that games have real educational value, and are not just entertainment?
With the generous support of VINCI, we’ve assembled this collection of eSchool News stories and other resources to help you answer these questions as you consider the use of game-based learning in your own schools.
