Game-Based Learning

This will come as no big surprise to anyone who knows me, but I am a huge fan of gaming and its use in the classroom to engage and inspire students.  The skills learned through game play can greatly impact our students' ability to problem-solve, think critically, and think creatively.  As I find resources to help in this area, I will happily share them here, including some of the things that inspire me to PLAY!
