One of the reasons I incorporated game based learning into my classroom is because of the tremendous impact it has on engagement many of these students are low-income or minority students that are near and dear to my heart technology is a huge part of their lives from their cell phones to their Computers their tablets and their consoles we owe it to our students to bring what they’re passionate about into the classroom leveraging games like minecraft is a great way to bring what students love into the classroom while bridging the gap between learning and their everyday experiences when we give Students a blank canvas like Minecraft and asked them to show us what they know or what they’ve learned we empower them and amazing things can happen this creates an environment where learning becomes student-centered instead of teachers centred and as a teacher with students so engaged my role shifts from Keeper of knowledge to guide students who may have been previously disengaged are more willing to learn and are now creating and collaborating with their peers there are so many positive effects of using game based learning in the classroom an engagement is just one of them Video Information
