"Whether our students fear the dark, monsters, heights, some other imagined horror, or something more real such as family troubles or bullying, everyone is afraid of something. For students in our schools those fears probably include something that is an inherent part of our society and our educational system – failure."
Beth Dichter's insight:
What would happen if you used game-based learning in your classroom and took advantage of the of the fact that students do fail when they play games, providing opportunities for them to understand how they may also fail in class and more on. Three strategies are explored in this post. * Encourage cooperative play * Implement structures for active engagement * Embrace failure as a learning opportunity In addition to providing detailed explanations of these strategies the post also provides a look at 21 smart games for game-based learning and some as well as links to locations where you may find educationally relevant games.

Interesting inights.
Everyone is afraid of something. However, we need to encourage our students not to fear failure, but embrace it as a natural part of the learning process.
One area where failure is naturally integrated is games-based learning where progress is built on the concept of experimentation - failure and adaptation.
