Ebook Free Download | Mathematics Education for a New Era: Video Games as a Medium for Learning | The use of games in K-12 math education is growing fast, and respected mathematician Keith Devlin uses this book to set out his vision of how this movement will grow and become more influential. I really enjoyed Devlin's accessible style, and appreciated his focus on 'Mathematical Thinking' rather than pure arithmetic, a common problem with the existing generation of math games. Devlin seems to play an awful lot of World of Warcraft, an online MMO, and this seems to influence a lot of his observations. My own belief is that casual math games, of the type provided by Mangahigh.com, are a more flexible medium for math education, and that combining an MMO with math could be an overwhelming task, with unreliable results. Devlin gives lots of interesting insights, although he sometimes relies overly on James Paul Gee's seemingly endless rules for education games. I enjoyed this book, and will look out for further publications from this author.
