Games have always been a go to tool for teachers to increase
student engagement in a subject. To this day the Jeopardy theme song brings
flashbacks of my high school science class where heated Jeopardy rounds were
played to help students prepare for final exams. With advances in technology, classroom games
have moved off the chalk board and on to the Smart Board. Andrew Miller, an educational consultant and
online educator highlights some exciting new free educational games and gaming
resources that were recently featured at the International Society for
Technology in Education Conference. Miller
explores how game based learning tools can be successfully incorporated into
the classroom and how new advancements are paving the way for even more
exciting game based engagement opportunities in education.
