Ali Carr-Chellman: Gaming to re-engage boys in learning

Many boys are having a hard time in school—they’re disproportionally suspended, marked as learning disabled, and diagnosed with ADHD. In this talk from TEDxPSU, Ali Carr-Chellman ponders whether this could be a simple culture clash. She shares a fascinating idea — that creating educational video games full of rich narratives could help boy culture connect with school culture.


As an avid video game player and believer that games can transform how our students view school, literature, the world and their lives, Ali-Carr Chellman makes a compelling argument for gaming to re-engage boys in learning.  Enjoy!
