The moment I saw Jane’s TED talk, I was moved, motivated, and impressed, so I snatched up her book first chance I got.Īs an avid gamer myself, I have to admit that I didn’t read the book with complete objectivity. Her book firmly asserts that game theory can be applied to real life, and that when game theory is applied to real life, life is better. Jane believes that games potentially offer more than just addictive entertainment they offer insight into what we want and need as human beings.

In Reality is Broken, Jane McGonigal offers a new look at games and what they can do for us. They suggest that within 2-3 years game-based learning is going to see significant growth, and become more prevalent in higher education. The term “game-based learning” is mingled with “innovation” and “collaboration.” This spring, the New Media Consortium, an international non-profit group of learning-focused organizations, released their 2014 Horizon Report which focuses on the technology areas that will have a major impact on educational institutions in the next few years. In everything I read lately, people are discussing game theory and education. Request Info Show website search modal Show mobile navigation
