Recording of MEDEAnet webinar on integrating gaming in the classroom freely available

The MEDEAnet consortium organised a one-hour webinar "How to integrate gaming in the classroom" on 25 June 2012, in which Steven Ronsijn (Sint-Lievenscollege in Ghent, Belgium) described how he integrates the game Third World Farmer in his geography classes and outlined what he considers to be the 4 success factors that teachers should take into account when it comes to game-based learning. Jolanta Galecka (Young Digital Planet, Poland) showed several interesting games and the evolution YDP has undergone in its design process based on feedback provided by children playing the games.
