Abstract/Summary:
Digital game-based instruction is a relatively new phenomenon in the world of education. Teachers hold the key to unlock the world of DGBL within the classroom. Within the classroom a teacher is much like an artist with a blank canvas and typically artistic freedom is granted. What is taught, the curriculum, is generally mandated by local, regional, or perhaps federal guidelines. Teachers normally are given the great responsibility of "how" they teach; it is up to the individual. Their pedagogy could include giving a lecture, distributing worksheets, providing some sort of practice, and finally, assessing just how well their students have been able to recall the relayed information.
