How can we give GBL access to more schools?

Schools have a key responsibility to support teachers by providing proper training and resources for game-based learning. When teachers are well-prepared and fully understand how educational games work, they are better equipped to guide students, answer questions, and ensure that the learning objectives of the game are met. Training helps teachers use these tools effectively and confidently, making the learning experience smoother and more beneficial for everyone.

There are many excellent free educational games available, such as CellCraft, which teaches students about biology and how cells function. These free resources can be a great starting point for schools looking to introduce game-based learning without spending a lot of money.

However, one challenge is that not all high-quality educational games are free. Some require subscriptions or licensing fees, which can be a barrier for schools with limited budgets. This makes it important for schools to carefully plan and prioritize which tools to invest in and to look for cost-effective or open-source alternatives whenever possible.

By providing both the training for teachers and access to the right games, whether free or paid, schools can make game-based learning more accessible, effective, and sustainable.
