There is a lot more value to be found in video games than what is traditionally considered educational. Video games can do more than just build one's literacy; it can teach mechanics, problem-solving, rules, narrative speaking, and even foster relationships with others. This is how this book is set up - to be a guide for teachers to utilize and incorporate video games - a past time that is well used by our students - to help foster learning experiences, challenge their minds, and further their own career paths.
Teaching With Video Games: A Strategy Guide is your entry point to game based learning. You will find everything you need to know before you play that first video game with your students. Included is a series of 27 activities and video games across discipline areas to bring into your classroom.
