Critical Thinking vs. Fact-based Learning

May 7, 2009

Is there really any question of which is more important? Traditional curriculum emphasizes factual knowledge. Games promote critical thinking. So we need to find a way to make games work in the classroom??? Am I crazy to think that the statement "... schools do have to change in some fairly fundamental ways" is a bit of an understatement?
