Without student interest, there wouldn't be as much engagement and excitement about learning. When an environment is interest-based, students are more likely to engage in content and with each other. That's where the sense of community forms.

Yes, technology is rapidly changing, but not all educators have the time to explore all tech at a deeper level, and often don't know where to start. How can we support this generation gap?

As educators, we want to create these links between in-home gameplay and in-school learning. The key though is HOW we create these connections. In a school like Quest to Learn, these opportunities are more accessible due to the structure of the school. In a gen ed class, however, it's important to make time for students to form connections between home and school, and this can be supported with online affinity spaces, genius hour, and PBLs.
