  -Making learning fun motivates students and helps them pay attention and stay focused on the subject.
b) Bridging the Digital Generation Divide
c) Learning from Mistakes
 -One reason that games (outside of gambling) are such a great escape from the real world is that bad consequences are rarely serious or lasting.
