The science behind games and learning along with strategies that promote generalization of game-based skills to the real world will be explored. Participants will be encouraged to bring their own (or borrow their children’s) mobile devices with them if they have them. Prior to the session, participants are encouraged to download free versions of Angry Birds, Farm Story and Dragon Dictation to their mobile devices.
