Making Games Based Learning Work in Secondary Schools
7 likes1,906 views
The document discusses using games-based learning in secondary schools. It proposes using games like Guitar Hero to help transition primary 7 students to secondary school. Students would use the game context to work on projects in various subjects from Easter through the summer. All P7 students would then come together for a transition event involving Guitar Hero. The theme would also be used in some subjects through the start of the new term. Brain training games on Nintendo DS could also be used for 10 minutes at the start of math lessons. The document advocates using games to develop literacy and provides other ideas for incorporating games into the curriculum.
