ULearn Computer gaming Breakout

Kids between 4 and 14 will spend roughly 10192 hrs gaming, 13300 hrs at school. That is long enough to become an expert. We should harness this.

The breakout hung off the wiki: http://gamesined.wikispaces.com/

There is a great list of games, loosely grouped into subjects. Definately a great place to start if you're looking for some games to use in class.

As far as the pedagogy goes the talk was pretty light, he recommended Immersion with guidance without elaborating much. He did say that he was hoping to get classroom experiences of these games put up on the wiki. That would be very useful to me.
