Abstract

The purpose of this session is to report on an MSP partnership that provided teachers with tools for enhancing student learning with commercial off-the-shelf and edutainment video games in the classroom. The presenters have worked with multiple projects in Oklahoma and Wyoming to develop aids for assisting digital immigrant teachers who are interested in bringing video games into the classroom but they may not be gamers themselves.
