The document discusses MIT's Teacher Education Program and its research into handheld learning games. It outlines 6 principles of handheld games: portability, social interactivity, context sensitivity, connectivity, individuality, and ubiquity. It then provides examples of participatory simulation games developed by the program that leverage mobile and augmented reality technologies to create engaging learning experiences for students. The games simulate real-world problems and scenarios for students to collaboratively solve.
