2. Learning 2.0 is not a conference where teachers
come to be taught by 'an expert', but rather
where teachers, experts in their own right,
gather to learn from one another.
3. Do you know how to search?
With more and more of the
world's content online, it is
critical that students
understand how to effectively
use web search to find quality
sources appropriate to their
task.
11. Game Based Learning (GBL)
To progress in a game is to learn; when we are
actively engaged with a game, our minds are
experiencing the pleasure of grappling with
(and coming to understand) a new system.
12. In The US,
• 190 million households use a next-generation video game
console, spending a record $11.7 billion.

13. What is Effective Game-based
Learning, and Why Does it Work?
When education or training feels dull, we are
not being engaged and motivated.
In other words, we’re not really learning.
“Learning” doesn’t mean rote memorization—it
means acquiring the skills and thought
processes needed to respond appropriately
under pressure, in a variety of situations.
14. Some of the advantages of using games with learning
purposes are:
• Learn from your mistakes in a safe and simulated
environment.
• Learn other ways or more effective techniques to carry out
something in particular.
• The context of a game is generally more engaging because at
every stage there is a challenge to achieve that keeps the
learner motivated.
