Abstract

Digital media Jews--Education--Computer games Simulation games in education
Like many other areas of education, informal Jewish education is now looking to 21st century influences for help in restructuring the manner by which educational material is delivered. Similar to many other religions, ritualistic practices within Judaism are connected to elements of play and games. In addition to this, researchers note the potential of game based learning to afford twenty-first century skills as well as provide a relevant educational methodology for the current generation of students. Thus, I believe that a game based learning environment would help make informal Jewish educational programs more meaningful to contemporary students. This paper describes, "Korach's Fall," a game based learning environment for informal Jewish education.
