Game based learning “There is an important distinction between games that ask players to provide “the answer” and those that challenge players to devise the best of what might be many different solutions to problems. In many cases, it means immersing players in simulated worlds or environments where their virtual decisions are the basis for game play.” Will Richardson http://www.districtadministration.com/article/gaming-gains-respecthttp://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/23968709@N03/6998111300/
