Article Published: Overview of Serious Games for Global Educators

Posted by Benjamin Stokes on 08-23-05

The UK-published Development Education Journal recently asked one of our co-founders to write a theme article on "Games and Global Education" for their June 2005 edition. We’re now pleased to offer the article online. Two aspects may interest readers here: (1) the overview of digital games for those doing civic education, (2) advice on collaboration to increase impact for the Serious Games sector. A PDF of the article can be downloaded at the top of the following URL: www.netaid.org/go/games

At a larger level, traditional journals are clearly beginning to take games seriously. In this case, the flagship publication of a leading global education journal considered digital games worth recruiting for its special issue on technology in education. The article itself is largely a product of the Serious Games community: it was authored by G4C co-founder Benjamin Stokes and acknowledgements also go out to Dave Rejeski (G4C co-founder) and David Williamson Shaffer (UW-Madison).
