Playing and designing video games to help students learn skills ranging from teamwork to digital design may sound like a techie’s dream, and it may be become reality in some schools.
Video games have the capacity to teach students a much larger skillset than traditional education methods can, said Erica Lucci, a Ph.D. candidate and instructor.
“You can learn so much more and apply skills, if instead of just playing the game you design it yourself,” she said.
A former first grade teacher, Joel Levin, modified the classic video game Minecraft to teach his past students how to research and interact online.
