Games and learning

There is a movement called game based learning which is quite popular. There are a couple of big name advocates for the idea.

One is Marc Prensky who has written a book called Digital Game based learning. Marc is also quite famous for coining the term digital native and digital immigrant with an immigrant accent.

The other big name is Thiagi. I have an old classmate who studied at U of Indiana for an MSc in Instructional Design listened to Thiagi give a talk and was quite impressed. He has a website where he has made game ideas available for free.
