Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure games connect to learning goals and competencies that have to be acquired.
  • Make sure there’s a balance between the gaming part and the educational part.
  • Introduce games to your high achievers (first) so they can play it after finishing their mandatory tasks. If you decide to introduce the game to the rest of the class in a later stage, the high achievers would be able to help you provide some support for the other students.
  • It would be good if you can access some IT-support when you are playing the game.
