BrainMeld: Promoting the use of Video Games in Education

BrainMeld - Bridging the gap between gaming and education. ‘The Educational and Video Games industries may seem like completely different worlds, but they have one very important thing in common: They both share the same audience. A growing body of research shows that mainstream video games are incredibly powerful learning tools and can be used to enhance almost any curriculum - from standards-based k-12 to college and graduate level studies to government and corporate training. BrainMeld is a global community of educators, academics, technologists and video game professionals created to promote the use of mainstream video games as classroom learning tools. The site contains research, articles, links and discussion boards to encourage a lively exchange of ideas.’
