Abstract:
The Educators in Focus series features more than 50 instructional videos made by Ontario educators for Ontario educators as a way to inform their professional development, discover new strategies and implement innovative pedagogical practices.
In this video, Ontario educator Ammar Aquil emphasizes how game-based learning (GBL) invites opportunities for social engagement and collaboration among students. It also encourages the development of complex problem solving skills. Ammar also challenges earlier held perceptions of gaming as an individual and isolated activity.
