Games in Schools

Six teachers from Austria, Denmark, England, France, Italy, and Spain have been randomly selected as winners of an Xbox and digital games to play on it, as well as copies of the Games in Schools reports, following their participation in the study's survey. We now would like to invite these teachers, as well as others, to share their experiences of using digital games in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning by making the pedagogical process more engaging and dynamic. Share your experiences here by commenting below to motivate as well as learn from others!
