If you hesitated with the Civic Mirror – or any game-based learning resource for that matter – because you thought it was pedagogically unfounded, don’t even go there. Thanks to the Guardian Games Blog for this outstanding interview with Professor Harry Jenkins. While almost 2 years old, the points he drives home about the benefits of using a game-based approach to learning are outstanding, and he also identifies some road blocks we can all work to overcome too (like schools blocking YouTube … argh!).
