Video Games and Education

"Playing is the highest form of research," Einstein is said to have said. Nowadays, gaming also happens in video games, and teachers use it in class or for homework. For this video, we teamed up with the folks at G2A – the world's largest gaming marketplace. We'll learn about the three dimensions of game design, introduce four things we can learn from games, and show five video games that are great for learning – one of which is played at Harvard Business School. Special thanks to our Patreons: Avigail, Badrah, Cedric Wang, David Markham, Denis Kraus, Don Bone, Esther Chiang, Eva Marie Koblin, John Zhang, Julien Dumesnil, Mathis Nu - and all the others!!
