Multiplayer Educational Gaming Tournaments Hold Great Promise for Teaching and Learning
Jim McDermott
One of the most interesting developments in the multiplayer educational gaming world is the creation of virtual tournaments. Schools around the country are participating in Tabula Digita's 2nd annual Multiplayer Educational Gaming Tournament right now. The qualifying rounds are finished and students across the country are gearing up for the semifinals. Schools choose their five best players and then challenge the math mastery of other schools playing DimensionM. Winners get trophies and the honor of being national champs at the beginning of what I think will be a growing and lasting practice. Finally an opportunity to see the same excitement that sporting events drum up over content that is rarely celebrated (when was the last time you heard kids cheering each other on to solve algebraic equations?)
