DESCRIPTION OF THE LESSON PLAN

• What do we want? We want to give students the opportunity to exchange experiences about the positive impact games have on learning. How we can do this? We create a collection of games which students can use to play and learn. They can play as often as they want or need.

• In phase one teachers have to think about how they can use games for teaching (use apps for language learning, create quizzes, using games for thematic learning or project based learning)

• In phase two students create their own quizzes, think about projects based on games, present apps they have find on their own devices.

DESCRIPTION OF THE LESSON PLAN

• In the third phase students can play online with their partners and exchange information about games.
