Playing to Learn

The debate goes electronic ... it was always heading that way anyway but has not got far yet. Lots of research, lots of pontification but what impact in classrooms in general .. when will the ideas become main-stream? Or do our young people really want their cultural icons taken over by institutionalisation?

My friend Mark Ingram directs me to these two additions to the continuing and escalating debate.

Have a look at Playing to Learn by David Hutchison and then, if you haven't already read it, the ELSPA report 'Unlimited learning: Computer and video games in the learning landscape' with a forward by Lord Puttnam and an intro bt Stephen Heppell.
