Khine, Myint Swe. Learning to Play: Exploring the Future of Education with Video Games. P. Lang, 2011.
This book acts as a critical analysis of trends in educational gaming, while also informing the reader of examples that one might not already be aware of existing. It approaches the subject matter from various perspectives, exploring the latest innovations while looking toward the future. The articles notes the success of video games as a pedagogical tool in the military, while continuing to have a relatively low rate of use in grades K-12. The article also notes potential challenges, such as off-task behavior in students and overemphasis of technology, while praising the social nature of gaming. The author has also written other books on technology and learning, and very obviously takes his work very seriously.
