Free Tools to Incorporate Game-Based Learning

Free Tools to Incorporate Game-Based Learning | 21st Century Information Fluency | Scoop.it
From www.edutopia.org - February 21, 1:51 AM

As I work with teachers to implement game-based learning (GBL), they are always looking for any free tools that exist. While some are willing to pay for iPad game apps or using the Kinect, these tools often cost money. Luckily, there are many tools out there that are free and that teachers could use in the classroom as soon as tomorrow. Some of these tools are not only the games themselves, but also lesson plans and ideas for using the game in the classroom. Here are some of my favorite free GBL tools.

Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Performance assessment was the big idea that died when NCLB grabbed hold of Education.  I still believe that most advanced learning takes place as a process that is best assessed as a performance. Here are resources to consider if you are curious or or like mind on the issue.

TRAILS: Tool for Real-time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills | 21st Century Information Fluency | Scoop.it
From www.trails-9.org - May 9, 2012 11:59 AM

TRAILS is a knowledge assessment with multiple-choice questions targeting a variety of information literacy skills based on 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th grade standards. This Web-based system was developed to provide an easily accessible and flexible tool for school librarians and teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses in the information-seeking skills of their students. There is no charge for using TRAILS.
