I think the biggest advantage of using games in teaching and learning is that they provide teacher and student alike with an interactive experience that can be hugely beneficial to learning. Since the idea of learning with games, especially commercial games, is still a fairly new concept in education, I wish to be as open and transparent in sharing our philosophy as I possibly can.

I've been thinking about doing a post on how Aleksander and I approach the idea of learning with games, and would really like some input from members of the group, so that I can try to answer any questions you guys might have as best as I can. If you are an educator – what questions and topics would you like to see discussed regarding games as learning tools? If you are a student – how do you see the idea of using games to help you learn?

Any input would be highly appreaciated!

The summer break is coming to an end. To assist teachers in selecting excellent games for use with their classes, we will during the next few days be adding a new batch of suggestions.

Are you ready to introduce games in your classroom?
