  5. In September 2009, President Obama launched a campaign entitled “Educate to Innovate.” A goal of this program is to improve technological, mathematical, scientific and engineering abilities of students by harnessing the power of interactive games.

  6. Obama said, “I'm calling for investments in educational technology that will help create ... educational software that is as compelling as the best video game. I want you guys to be stuck on a video game that's teaching you something other than just blowing something up.”

  7. Quoting Alan Gershenfeld, there is a unique and….surprising alignment between the core elements that make video games so deeply engaging and the best practices that many of the most effective teachers are employing in the classroom.

  8. Some examples of this alignment include: • Project-based learning • Personalized learning • 24/7 learning • Peer-to-peer learning • 21st century skill development See handout.
