Playful Learning Without Games
What can educators do to understand games and make school a more rigorous, vital and enjoyable place? Building on decades of research, this session looks at the seven essential nutrients that games provide:
Failure
Feedback
Fairness
Flow
Fantasy
Freedom
Fellowship
Understanding these “seven F’s” can help teachers make their classrooms more successful places, even if they don’t like video games or are uncomfortable bringing them into the classroom. We’ll explore the possibilities and come up with doable, practical solutions.
