Game-based learning positions the students as gamers to engage with learning material by playing and interacting with tabletop games. Then, students apply these gameplay experiences to real-life scenarios. By using tabletop games to drive the learning process, students stay immersed and active. Game-based learning develops leadership skills, teaches new concepts, fosters positive behaviors, and increases communication. Which is to say it gives our students some of the most reliable tools necessary to succeed.

Tabletop games allow us to unplug from our virtual worlds and share experiences, to be fully engaged in an activity as a group. We must maintain these personal connections with one another, and tabletop games can help facilitate these interactions. Believe me, the Game Schooler staff loves technology, but if we fail to slow down and peal our faces away from a glowing display once and awhile, we may forget the very things that make us human.
