How are expert educators using games in their classrooms to give
students agency, while also teaching twenty-first century skills,
like empathy, systems thinking, and design thinking? This question
has motivated Matthew Farber's Game-Based Learning in Action: How
an Expert Affinity Group Teaches With Games showcasing how one
affinity group of K12 educators-known as "The Tribe"-teaches with
games. They are transformational leaders outside the classroom, in
communities of practice. They mentor and lead newcomers to
game-based learning, as well as advise game developers, academics,
and policymakers. Teachers in "The Tribe" do not teach in
isolation-they share, support, and mentor each other in a community
of practice. Farber shares his findings about the social practices
of these educators. Game-Based Learning in Action details how the
classrooms of expert game-based learning teachers function, from
how they rollout games to how they assess learning outcomes. There
are plenty of lessons to be learned from the best practices of
expert educators. These teachers use games to provide a shared
meaningful experience for students. Games are often the focal point
of instruction. Featuring a foreword from James Paul Gee (Mary Lou
Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies, and Regents'
Professor), this book comments on promises and challenges of
game-based learning in twenty-first century classrooms. If you are
looking to innovate your classroom with playful and gameful
learning practices, then Game-Based Learning in Action is for you!
