Website Aims To Help Create Better Educational Games

Gamesandlearning.org, a new website launched today by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and the Games and Learning Publishing Council, will provide coverage of key developments in the educational gaming industry, how games are being integrated into classroom, and offer interviews with top thinkers and doers.

To serve game developers and foundations, venture capitalists, government agencies and others who support the development of new games, gamesandlearning.org offers a variety of content including:

·Translation of Research - will offer possible takeaways that are often hidden in academic journals and highlight the best new research.

·Explainers - will clarify some of the more arcane and jargon-filled aspects of the educational games market, introducing and analyzing key trends.

·Commentaries - track the thinking of some of the leaders in the industry through timely and engaging op-eds and audio interviews.
