Abstract

This symposium draws upon scholarship from across the globe to explore when, why, and how videogames are and are not being adopted in K-12 classrooms. Systematic reviews complemented by empirical research offer well-rounded perspectives of the possibilities supported and stymied by pedagogical innovations and obstacles. Additionally, theoretical models offer new ways to envision enactments of videogames and the related meaning making and pedagogical turns that further inform research and practice.
