«Prof. Sasha Barab of the Center for Games for Impact at Arizona State University and Eric Klopfer consider games as experiences, and the nature of how we draw meaning from gameplay. Sasha explores the importance of a game’s story on how players interact with each other outside of the game (5:14).
As you watch this video, think about some powerful moments playing games in your own life (not necessarily digital!) and moments of great learning. Are there ways to marry the two? How are they similar or dissimilar? What are the conversations that could have or did emerge from both?»
