"Two decades in, and it’s abundantly clear that one of the most effective ways to nurture the 21st century’s trademark skills—creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration—is by creating opportunities for kids to do what kids do naturally: play. So we’ve crafted this educators’ guide to game-based learning, packed with resources for gaming gurus and greenhorns alike."
Jim Lerman's insight:
A sizable, and growing, collection of resources on game-based learning for educators. Resources are grouped into 3 sections: The Big Picture, Gaming in the Classroom, and Teaching with Minecraft. Don't miss the beginner's Minecraft video tutorial.

When you try to include the students' interests in your lessons or even by just having conversations with them about the things they enjoy, learning becomes more enjoyable and strengthens teacher-student relationships.
