Learning Starts with Having Fun
Learning is a serious business. But that doesn’t mean students shouldn’t have fun while doing it. In fact, playing games increases motivation by helping students relax, open up, and get out of their heads while learning. And remember: Unless students are learning open heart surgery, sky-diving, or how to safely direct a space mission back to Earth, you can be sure that play is an entirely appropriate addition to education.
