Packed with critical analysis and real-life examples, this book explores how children's video games can cultivate learning. Lacasa takes several commercial video games and shows how they can be used both in and out of the classroom to teach initiative and problem-solving, encourage creativity, promote literacy, and develop reasoning skills.

Author Pilar Lacasa: Pilar Lacasa is Professor of Communication and Education at the University of Alcala, Spain.
