This is a three-part interview (Part One, Part Two, Part Three) with Kurt Squire on games in learning. It's not the easiest read - Jenkins comes across as gushing, while Squire writes in an awkward and stilted style (the video in part two shows he speaks that way too). But the three parts offer numerous insights and nuggets worth mining - the way education privileges certain kinds of questions, the way games for you into systems thinking and push you beyond looking for simple explanations, the use of games to foster reflection, the use of games to foster social skills, collaboration skills and organization skills. And a lot more. It's good thinking even if the presentation is really really awkward.
