and education doesn’t know the first thing about either
one.”

Meeting expectations
• Merging good learning design with real games is NOT easy
• We have to match content to digital natives and technology
• We need to overcome ‘immigrant’ thinking about games
• We need to understand and employ the principles of game design, especially gameplay and decision making, so as not to suck the fun out
