Kostas Anagnostou presented on using games for learning. Traditional teaching focuses on institutionalized education and does not enhance soft skills or apply knowledge, while ideal learning leverages existing skills in authentic environments. Games can acquire knowledge and skills through exploration and feedback in authentic contexts. Serious games have explicit educational purposes beyond entertainment. Barriers to serious games include design, development costs, business models, and adoption in schools. However, opportunities exist in improved design methods, cheaper development tools, expanded markets, and growing acceptance of games.

Gamification
Gamification involves applying game mechanics and elements to non-game contexts to increase engagement and motivation. In education, gamification can be used in the classroom to motivate students and inspire continued learning through capturing their interest. Game elements promote situated learning in groups and allow students to explore higher-order thinking skills like creating, evaluating, and applying knowledge. Specific gamification strategies in the classroom include giving points for academic and non-academic goals, using levels and progression, grading backwards, and letting students set personal goals and track their own progress.

This document discusses the potential positive and negative effects of video games. Positively, video games may help with learning, cognitive thinking, problem solving, and dexterity when played in moderation. Some experts say video games can improve visual attention and the ability to mentally manipulate objects. However, violent video games, too much screen time, and addiction may promote aggression and depression. The document also notes most parents are unaware of the content and ratings of their children's games. Overall, the document presents views on both the upsides and downsides of video game usage.
4 Pillars of DGBL: A Structured Rating System for Games for Learning
Videogames are interactive by nature - people proceed in games by doing things, and this experiential quality lies at the very core of game design. Without interaction, it isn’t a game. Videogames are popular precisely because of the experience - games designed for learning can do no less. However, to be feasible for use in formal educational settings, they must do more, and while we are making progress studying games in classrooms, there remain few structured approaches to analysing games that do not include classroom testing.
This presentation will outline the author’s Four Pillars of Game-Based Learning and show using examples how they can be used to perform a structured analysis of both COTS and serious games to assess whether or not a game has potential for use in the classroom.
These four pillars are:
Gameplay - How is it as a game? Is it fun? Is it Interesting? How does it measure up esthetically?
Educational Content - Are there one or more recognizable educational objectives, discernible either from the game itself or from the accompanying support materials.
Teacher Support - Is there adequate teacher support to make viable for use in a formal setting?
Balance - This section examines the game through the lens of the Magic Bullet model to see how well the various learning elements are balanced.
Together these four pillars highlight the key issues associated with the use of games in the classroom.

Using Games in the Classroom
1. Playing games is an important part of child development as it helps children learn social and cognitive skills like symbolization and abstract thinking. As children grow, the types of games and rules change with their cognitive abilities.
2. There is evidence that computer games can be effective instructional tools by making learning engaging and relevant to students' interests while developing different learning styles. Games help motivate students through challenge and adjustment of difficulty.
3. For games to be appropriate for classroom use, teachers must ensure the content is connected to curriculum objectives and choose games that incorporate lessons rather than being used purely for entertainment. Games can teach skills like problem solving, critical thinking and discovery to enhance learning.
Games for learning & Role Play Scenarios

Gaming with the end in mind
This document discusses the importance and effective integration of gaming in education. It argues that games can motivate students and help develop 21st century skills when integrated thoughtfully with pedagogical goals in mind. Some examples provided include using the game Expedition to teach geography concepts, the game Civilization 4 to teach historical concepts, and the game Climate Challenge to teach about climate change. The document emphasizes the importance of reflection, using games for formative and summative assessment, tying games to learning standards, and providing context and debriefing around game play. Teachers are encouraged to try out games themselves first before implementing them and to focus on enduring understandings rather than being too restrictive.
Games for primary school education
This document discusses using games in primary school education. It begins by defining what games are, noting they involve play, goals, rules, challenges, interactions and feedback. It then explores why games work well for learning, as they meet students in the digital world they are familiar with and provide different ways to learn and feel success. The document discusses using game-based learning and gamification to design games with explicit learning outcomes to practice, retain and apply knowledge on various subjects. It provides examples of online games for different subject areas and skills practice. Finally, it offers tips for educators on integrating games and experimenting with game-based learning ideas.
