When Do Classroom Games Support Real Learning?
EdSurge
EDITOR BRIEF
An education discussion contrasts engagement with learning, highlighting retrieval practice and instant feedback while warning that timers, points, and grading can distract from learning. Guests also discuss narrative games and Kahoot!’s AI tool, which turns teachers’ materials into editable quizzes.
INSIGHTS
For learners, a quiz game is most useful when it helps you recall ideas and learn from mistakes, not just earn points. Try turning your notes into questions, then check and revise your answers.
