Brian Housand, Ph.D. brianhousand.com @brianhousand GAME ON! Integrating Games and Simulations in the Classroom It is estimated that by the time that today’s youth enters adulthood that they will have played an average of 10,000 hours of video games. By playing games, research suggests that they have developed abilities related to creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Come explore the history of games and simulations in the classroom and investigate ways that current games and simulations in digital and non-digital formats can be meaningfully and purposefully integrated into your learning environment.

In games, exploration is inherent and there are generally no high-stakes consequences. Children are able to EXPERIMENT AND TAKE RISKS TO FIND SOLUTIONS without the feeling that they are doing something wrong. GAMES ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO MAKE AND LEARN FROM MISTAKES, which is a particularly important concept in the K-12 setting.” GAME BASED LEARNING
