How can video games level up learning? | TED & Destination Canada
TED & Destination Canada | Video games naturally tap into the way we learn: they focus our attention and track our progress as we head toward a clear goal. Kris Alexander, a professor of video game design and passionate gamer himself, thinks the same elements should be used in traditional education to cater to different learning styles and engage students across the world, both in-person and online.
TED & Destination Canada hosted a one-day event featuring 14 remarkable speakers from nearly every province of Canada presenting ideas and solutions to problems in climate change, education, medicine and more. The event included 2 musical performances by Canadian artists and welcomed nearly 100 attendees from the US, Canada, Germany, Japan, and beyond. This short piece featuring Kris Alexander is amongst a series of social posts which were created to promote the talks recorded that day.
