The gamification of education is well under way and BrainPop–the leader in educational videos–has embraced games as a great way to teach students concepts. This website includes edutationment games focused on:
- science
- math
- social students
- health
- Englis
Why games, you might ask? As David McG says in Best Practices for Using Games & Simulations in the Classroom (PDF)
“Using games allows me to hit multiple learning styles in the same lesson in a much easier way than the normal classroom environment.”
