Educators are leveraging games to help students master just about everything. Games are addictive: they facilitate personalised learning and players have no fear of failure. 

This spotlight session examines game-based learning data and offers practical anecdotes about games in school. You also hear about GameUp, BrainPOP's online games portal, engaging students through cross-curricular titles from leading game creators.

Dr. Kari Stubbs is an internationally recognized educator. Currently, she serves as Vice President of Learning and Innovation at BrainPOP. Areas of interest include mobile, online, and game-based learning, as well as the "secret sauce" that blends teacher support and professional development.
