In this webinar for the Game-Based Learning community, Lee Wilson, CEO of Filament Games, answered the two core questions educators face when integrating games into curriculum: WHAT aspects of classroom practice are games especially well-suited for and WHEN should they be used? Lee discussed the challenges inherent to classroom instruction in terms of time constraints, location, and budget, and identified the ways in which games can help teachers deliver an immersive experience in an achievable way. View the webinar to learn about best practices for game integration, points on what games don’t do well, and how to avoid common pitfalls.
