Learning by Teaching

A Game-Based Approach

  • Chapter
Finnish Innovations and Technologies in Schools

Furthermore, learning has always been about storytelling and social interaction; infants learn from their parents, children learn from their siblings and friends, and even formal education is based on narration. Furthermore, children are ready to do more work for their game characters than what they are willing to do for themselves.
