Transforming learning through global collaboration
The Education of Generation G
This generation of students has grown up with digital games. How can we tap into their love of gaming to learn? Can we increase students' problem solving skills through digital games? In this video I introduce Andrea Kuszewski's five steps for increasing fluid intelligence. Each step is followed by an example computer game or simulation that exemplifies that step. I also touch on gamification.

I had never heard of the term PPOT before (Place Out Of Time). Well done Helen, really enjoyed reviewing this video again. You provide a very accessible reason for why we should be thinking more about games for learning. Thanks!

Thanks, this was informative. I need to use more games in class I think. I saw Adrian Camm in Beijing last month at a conference, he is a gaming 'guru' and really challenged and changed my thinking. I like how you brought up the mastery of games higher order thinking skills. Different thinking skills.
