I don't think so (which is why I've never been a fan of the phrase 'serious games') and I don't think Roode thinks so either. "What if teaching was all about letting that playful learning unfold – making it possible, acting as host and referee, and bringing out the qualities of curiosity, competition and desire in students? Wouldn't that be a wonderful way to teach – and to learn?
