Quest 5: Play to Learn

Quest 5: Play to Learn

Play to Learn with James Paul Gee

Good games are problem-based learning systems.

 

You now know that a balance of skills and challenges is crucial for sustained engagement when learning.  If gamers can develop the skills necessary to succeed in complicated problem-based video games, can’t they contribute to solving global problems?

 

No one understands the intricacies of the learning/gaming relationship like Game Guru James Paul Gee.  A linguist by trade, Gee compares the acquisition of skills necessary to play complicated video games to learning a new language.  Watch the videos below and read paragraphs 5-6 (starting at “Today there is…”) in Learning Systems, Not Games before/as you attempt this Jeopardy review game.  Feel free to use this Jeopardy Word Bank.
