Tricking people to learn with games - Vanessa Haddad

Listen Later

Without realising it, you could actually be learning incredibly valuable life skills through games.

For many, games have, and continue to, play a large part in the process of growing up - creating good times with friends, and memories which stick around longer than even the dustiest Playstations lurking under your bed.

In this one, I speak with video game expert Vanessa Haddad on:

  • Using games to induce flow, focus, and motivation - contrary to popular belief
  • How everything from “serious games” to “Cookie Clicker” can help people explore difficult topics and develop profound insights
  • Vanessa’s techniques for encouraging bonding and engagement in classrooms using games like “Unfair Mario”
  • Assassin’s Creed's ability to teach some students more about history than most teachers
