The Game Believes in You

How Digital Play Can Make Our Kids Smarter

Greg Toppo

Discover the revolutionary educators who believe that video games can transform the way we learn in Greg Toppo's The Game Believes in You. This book follows a small group of visionaries who've spent 40 years pushing for game controllers to be used in classrooms. Meet a game designer creating a video game version of Thoreau's Walden Pond, a young neuroscientist whose research is transforming how math is taught, and a music instructor leading teens in creating a Minecraft opera. Explore how games inspire and teach at a pace that traditional schooling can't. This must-read will inspire educators and parents alike and spark passionate debates.
