Learning by Dying - again
I was delighted to find my article Learning by Dying republished on a blog devoted to educational technology.
I was even more delighted to find Dr Gee's remarkable article "Literacy, Learning and Good Games" on the same blog, in which he says things like: "...the real message we should take from good video games is not necessarily to use games for learning, though that is a fine thing, but to use the sorts of learning principles that good games incorporate in our curricula, whether a game is involved or not."
It is reassuring to see this alignment of playful wisdom. Read the articles. Be reassured.
