Covering game design, game culture and games as twenty-first-century pedagogy, it demonstrates the depth and breadth of scholarship on games and learning to date. The chapters represent some of the most influential thinkers, designers and writers in the emerging field of games and learning - including James Paul Gee, Soren Johnson, Eric Klopfer, Colleen Macklin, Thomas Malaby, Bonnie Nardi, David Sirlin and others. Together, their work functions both as an excellent introduction to the field of games and learning and as a powerful argument for the use of games in formal and informal learning environments in a digital age.Books with free ebook downloads available Free Download Games, Learning, and Society

This book is a fascinating collection of pieces on videogames and learning in the 21st century, representing a huge range of perspectives. It thoroughly explores the crossroads of commercial videogames, educational game design, and online affinity spaces -- from interviews on design with commercial industry leaders (think Firaxis), to quantified ethnographies on virtual world cognitive apprenticeships, to assessment of fandom (legitimate peripheral participation in participatory culture via modding and forum contributions). A lovely collaboration from many different voices across academia, media design, education, and industry, this book is a must-have for anyone intrigued with digital media-based learning, design, or scholarship.
