Teaching Games For Understanding Advantages And Disadvantages

Plenty of games let players take on the role of a general leading troops into battle. Others let gamers develop tactics to advance a civilization's growth across a plain or even across the expanse of space. There are even board and card games that can be used to strengthen a player's skills to think multiple steps ahead. Teaching for Understanding is an approach to curriculum design that goes beyond the simple relay of information to help students develop transferable knowledge and skills that they can apply in situations they have never encountered before.
