Because Education Matters!

Games are fantastic for getting people engaged and interested, but their value as an educational resource often goes unrecognized. We formed Extra Credits EDU to shine a light on games that teachers can use in their classrooms to help students enjoy learning in every subject. We work with educators to find great games (often popular ones!) and show how they can be applied in lesson plans and class curricula.

This group was created by Extra Credits and the Games for Good initiative.

Learning with games

August 10, 2015 - Tobi-Wan | 7 Comments

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!

Back to school!
