Learning Through Any Way is Still Learning

Siobhán Thomas says that"Pervasive gaming has tremendous potential as a learning tool and represents an interesting development in the field of video games and education." My! What
is that? That in simple language is the use of online games not just for entertainment but also as online learning games.

Wonder how many of us can forget the kind of drilling we used to get in the name of teaching in school. And yet, there was that odd teacher who would be able to make a game of a lesson. And did we learn? We did and it was a lot more fun. Learning does not have to be difficult and boring.
So we know games makes learning easier ... but how about learning at our own convenience anywhere, anytime?

Enter online learning games thanks to the wide availability of the internet. If you thought that there is the odd game here and there, you could not be more wrong. There are fully developed
sites with curriculum for different subjects and different age groups with study plans. These are like full online schools out there. Simply amazing!

How do you access these? When should you use these? As fulltime school replacement? As part time for revision and enhancement? For extra learning in areas of weakness?
