Collaborations in Interactive Education
Firaxis has inspired teachers from around the globe to exploit the "stealth education" properties of games to educate students. We take a "behind the scenes" approach to supporting the work of academic researchers and classroom practitioners that champion interactive education to transform the way children learn. Interested educators should see our Teacher Features area in the Community section of this web site. |
