Skills evaluation is a growing area of game design. In my courses, I would look to use games to reinforce concepts and test their absorption in other ways.

I learned about a few options for developing my own games. 

I had not considered the social aspect of gaming.

I have learned that I probably need to enter the 21st century and use games and simulations to enhance my students' experiences. In addition, I can think of applications and concepts that students often struggle with that can be simplified and reinforced through the use of games. I'm looking forward to learning just how to do this!
