Game-Based Lessons

Becker, Katrin

Pages: 243 –299

[This chapter adds the last few pieces of the puzzle by outlining various ways that games can be used in the classroom. Although we have largely focused on games as content when it comes to using them in the classroom, there are other ways to make use of games. This chapter outlines 15 of them....
