Everyone learns best when they are enjoying an activity - even adults prefer to learn through play! This book gives a wide range of ideas and practical activities to use computer games as learning tools with students aged 11+. You don't need to be a computer whiz to use this book.

There are sections on: - Integrating games into lessons - Activities for using freely and commonly-available computer games and consoles - Making your own games, and helping students to design computer games themselves - Using games to differentiate for students of varying abilities and learning styles By adding a new dimension to learning and teaching, computer games can be an enjoyable and fun addition to lessons and, as a result, produce lifelong learners.
