If teaching is like a play that follows a script, games are like improv that are open ended. Why the difference? "Computer games don’t teach. I think the idea that you can teach using computer games is based on a flawed analogy between gameplay and learning. In short, it’s my belief that games don’t teach, they illustrate." Great point, and it's too bad the author opted to post his work behind a registration barrier, which means that the link and the credit goes to Maish, who cited it and quoted a couple of paragraphs.
