How LMS can choose education games

1. Buy one copy of a bunch of educational games you have read reviews about.
2. Play the games-as you need to understand them and see how/if they align to standards.
3. Test the games in a classroom with students, to see if they work or not. Some games may seem great, but students are still the real judges.
4. Buy multiple copies of ones that worked well with students.

Foundation of Inquiry

Think-Make connections to topic (what do they already know), ask questions then have students wonder and ask questions of their own, and then students investigate based on what they want to know.

Create-Compare information, draw their own conclusions, and then create something with their knowledge.

Share- express what they learned

Grow-Add this knowledge to their own background
