Game Based Learning Articles from Edutopia

Okay - a bit of a hiccup to the start of Term 2 - nothing is ever meant to be easy but let's get this back on track again.  

Below are some links from Edutopia - mainly about Game-Based Learning.  As I am not a teacher, I have no idea of how useful these could be, but I am just tossing it out there for you on the off chance that there may be something that you can use. It is a US based site and probably a 'slightly' different clientele than ours, but you never know – there may be a small gem you can use or adapt for your needs.

Web Links

Below are a couple of websites that came through an email from a listserv for teachers/librarians - take a look if you get a few free minutes.  There may be something you could use.

Any activity that engages students in active thinking about social issues like bias and segregation should be good for learning, and Parable of the Polygons offers these kinds of opportunities.
