"I never cease to be amazed on the power of games. I have been using games for decades with kids, with teens, and with college students. I have used board games, card games, competitive games, non competitive games, ice breakers, team building games, adventure games, and video games to teach. Their success rate in terms of student engagement and enjoyment is probably close to 100%."

"There is an obvious need in education to bridge the gap between what students do at home (play video games, watch YouTube, live stream their game-play on Twitch) and what they do at school (none of that). These experiences, for our students, are like having two entirely different lives. At home, students are motivated and engaged to slay dragons, complete levels, solve puzzles and maybe scare their siblings a bit. At school we have a difficult time getting them to hand in their classwork. Yet we know they are capable of so much more."
