Welcome to Digital Game-Based Learning for K-12 educators. This is a week-long, self-paced exploration within an emerging market. If the video does not start automatically, click the video below to begin our journey!
In short, game-based learning is a tool of engaging learning through games. Because this definition is broad, our group has decided to narrow our topic down to four emerging areas: educational games, gamification, simulations, and mobile games
We encourage you to explore the four topics that we have selected. However, we only recommend that you focus on TWO activities. You should post your comments at the bottom of the Activity pages on this site (i.e. not the ETEC 522 course site). These activities will be moderated by our experts: Bridget Perry-Gore, Colin Kam, David McInnes, Deborah Schell, and Karon Wong.
Self-Assessment
You can take the Jeopardy self-assessment below at any time, either before or after exploring the rest of the website. It may help you decide where to explore first!
