Games are architectures for collective intelligence and engagement. Studies
show that the freedoms and choices inherent in games allow for the
development of non-cognitive skills like patience and discipline. The
persistence, risk taking, collaboration, and problem solving of games can
be embedded in information and media literacy instruction in ways that
effectively enhance participant's learning. Learn how to create, adapt and
use games that develop cultural awareness and build essential information
and media literacy knowledge and skills. And games are fun!
