Summary
It's a belief that Online education and digital innovation were born just a few months ago along with the Pandemic.
Educational games on the contrary often use concepts like math, science, general knowledge etc to take the story of the game forward.
Meet the next generation classrooms where students can re-discover the joy of learningeven beyond classroom walls.
Centuries ago in Gurukulas, a child learnt how to bring down edible fruits from the tree by using a bow and arrow; today in an educational game a child can learn how the transfer of heat takes place while boiling water.
In India, with the booming Ed-tech industry, gaming is increasingly coming to the forefront as a serious learning tool.
While the perception of gaming as a distraction hasn't been completely wiped out yet, the inclusion of educational games as a mandatory part of the curriculum by reputed schools clearly shows the change in mindset that has taken place and the positive route that lies ahead. When educators can transform the way they teach, they can transform the future and move imagination beyond space and time.
Challenges to integrate the new technology within classrooms or education environment has been well received and Gamification is here to create that impact on the young minds; imparting education through games.
