Episode 86 (video): Educational Games

from Psychology in Everyday Life: The Psych Files · host Michael Britt

Let's talk about what really good teaching is and what really good games are like. Then I take you on a brief tour of what I believe are some of the best examples of great educational games. This time on The Psych Files.
