Infographic—Games and Education

This is an interesting Infographic looking at Games and education. I found the post here at www.knewton.com.

I think we are going to see the use of games in a learning context increase. If we consider the importance of feedback in learning, the level of engagement that games provide the users, and the opportunities for genuine learning that these tools provide us, it will be no surprise to see them appearing more and more often in a classroom near to us. Here are some links from the infographic and a couple of my favorites:
