Bringing Together People, Ideas, and Resources for the Future of Education

The Learning Games Network is just that – a network of anyone who has a stake in the future of education. Teachers. Students. Parents. Policy makers. Researchers. Educational media developers. Game designers. Basically, everyone.

We provide resources to help teachers use games in the classroom. We encourage conversation to help improve publishers design new learning games. We host events to encourage communication and collaboration from boardrooms and research labs to classrooms, playgrounds, and kitchen tables.

Our aim is improve the tools and resources we use to learn. Join our non-profit network and help create the future.
