The learning capabilities of games seem to be endless, but what is truly inspiring is how games allow researcher to understand the process of learning. This leads to a better understanding of successful teaching. Learning is a vital part of the game experience because the first thing the player has to do is learn how to play the game. Beyond learning the basic functions of the game, players absorb other information: A gamer can learn to successfully manage a team, learn to speak a second language, learn the alphabet for the first time and even train their brains to function better. From life lessons, to facts, to ethics and beyond - games are a powerful teaching tool. The most powerful lessons might very well be the successful methods of teaching.
