We argue here for a particular view of games and of learning as activities that are most powerful when they are personally meaningful, experiential, social, and epistemological all at the same time. From this perspective, we describe an approach to the design of learning environments that builds on the educational properties of games, but deeply grounds them within a theory of learning appropriate for an age marked by the power of new technologies. http://www.academiccolab.org/resources/gappspaper1.pdf 83D254AD-0FA5-447B-81CC-588441698203 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 08:31:02 -0700 Digital technologies are connecting people in ways that were never before possible, but that network is fragile.
