"Game-based learning doesn't have to break the bank. That was the key point of my presentation at The Learning Assembly in Melbourne last week. Sure, you can spend an obscene amount of money on gaming technology if you want to, but you don't have to. Take Diner Dash for instance.

There's so many ways to subscribe, that I'm not positive it's worth including an aggregator in this type of fast paced presentation.

Technology being released to the public. Great ideas on productivity web2.0tools and presentation tools

It is no secret that students of today live in a multimedia world where they use video as their primary form of engagement and communication. Teachers and administrators are looking for ways to present information to students that will not only spark their interest, but also encourage them to explore a subject more thoroughly. Meaningful exploration usually means deeper understanding, which translates into higher student achievement, whether measured via standardized tests or an increased graduation rate. The advent of affordable 3D technology promises to bring into reality the dream of fully engaged students. Are you ready?
