Abstract
The Games in Schools Handbook covers key themes such as ‘why use video games for educational purposes’ and ‘why it is important to talk about video games’, and pedagogical scenarios of when and how to use video games. This includes using video games in thematic project-based learning, using games to develop students’ literacy and other skills, and how game design offers plenty of learning opportunities for children and young people. The handbook also highlights how video games can support inclusive education and what teachers need to do to counter some of the stereotypes that exist in and around games.
