education?

Games are very structured.
What are the rules in a game? What is
the outcome? What makes the game
engaging? How can you make sure
players are learning?
How can games be
rewarding? What are their
scoring systems? How do they
help create a community in
your classroom? How can we
leverage games for good?See
