“Connecting with the next generation of learners:
Creating and playing games for learning*”*

While demands on learners and citizens in the 21st century have changed
dramatically, the shift to new ways of technology-enabled teaching and
learning has been slow to respond.  There is a noticeable gap between the
technologies that young people use on their own and those used in school.
 Of those technologies, video games stand out as a predominant medium, and
one that has great unrealized potential for learning.    Over the past 10
years the *Scheller Teacher Education Program* and *The Education
Arcade*at MIT have been designing, building and studying the use of
video games
for learning.  Professor Klopfer will discuss the design of learning games,
and how those games play out in the lives of learners in and out of school.
 A particular focus is on games for learning science, technology,
engineering and mathematics.
