Games seminars
Friday
Tim Rudd and Mary Ulicsak, Futurelab
Computer games can provide powerful learning environments but it's too simple to say that all young people would like to use them at school but teachers have reservations. This seminar presents the reality from both sides and explores the practical issues concerning the use of games in the classroom.

How do you make learning fun? By making 'fun' a learning experience. Starting with a set of playful content propositions, a handful of free, award winning resources have been developed. Making use of serendipity, sharing, collaboration and physical activity, the seminar will illustrate these proven learning experiences, provide valuable pointers for classroom use and discuss where the future may lie.
What would you expect to gain by attending either seminar, improving your understanding of how computer games can assist the teaching and learning process? What are your views about the use of computer games in the classroom? Share your thoughts with the wider BETT community.
