The video below has commentary from Will Wright (game designer), the Creator of "the Sims" Talks Educational Gaming
- Mr. Wright maintains that "Play" is a fundamental educational technology.
- He sees games as a great way to "motivate" students to investigate/follow-up on different subject areas as oppose to "educating" them.
Education and Gaming
- Give frequent and detailed feedback
- Test before going live
- Narrative can answer the question "Why are we learning this?"
- Don't be afraid of fun
- Not every subject works as a game
