Decent book with useful insight Jacob David makes some good points about how we need to use the better technology to help us teach and learn more quickly. He has a different style of writing from James Paul Gee, and I tend to like how Gee writes.

The book give many examples on how to incorporate gaming into your classroom.. "Satisfied" according to Hope2nou. Was what I expected. Satisfied
