21st century education
The meaning of knowing today has shifted from being able to recall and repeat information to being able to find it, evaluate it and use it compellingly at the right time and in the right context.
Our children are living in the most intensely stimulating period in the history of the earth.

Why Games & Learning (Institute of Play mission statement)
success in the twenty-first century depends on education that treats higher order skills, like the ability to think, solve complex problems or interact critically through language and media; games naturally support this form of education
