Welcome to the future of game-based learning! As we navigate this exciting topic, it’s important to understand the potential power of this approach. A study titled, “Technology, Knowledge and Learning,” highlights that game-based learning not only enhances motivation and performance but also promotes key competencies of learners such as problem-solving, collaborative communication, and strategic thinking (Hou, 2023). With so much new and exciting technology emerging day by day the use of educational games needs to be continuously innovated and evaluated. As we move forward, we’ll explore how game-based learning is shaping the future of education, fostering a love for learning and equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century.

The Future of GBL is Bright!
The National Geographic VR app is a great tool for game-based learning in classrooms. It allows students to virtually explore some of the most iconic locations on the planet such as Antarctica and Machu Picchu. By navigating around icebergs in a kayak, climbing a massive ice shelf or surviving a raging snowstorm, students can engage in many experiences of discovery. This immersive experience not only enhances students’ understanding of various subjects but also fosters their curiosity and love for learning. The National Geographic VR app is an excellent example of how game-based learning can be beneficial for students.
