Games That Teach: Using Digital Games in Education

Congress Center, Irena Ondrová Hall

Digital games are part of the everyday lives of the vast majority of children and adolescents. Yet in educational settings, they often remain an untapped potential—or a source of concern. This professional block, designed for teachers and educational practitioners, aims to change this situation. Through lectures and hands-on workshops, participants will gain practical guidance on which types of games are suitable for teaching, how to use them effectively, and how to meaningfully integrate games as a method into the teaching of various subjects and age groups. Attention will be paid not only to digital games, but also to game mechanics more broadly—principles that can be used to foster motivation, collaboration, and critical thinking in the classroom.
