In this video, I’m debunking 3 big lies I see teachers believe about using digital games in class—especially in an Outschool classroom. If you’ve ever thought “games are just fluff,” “I need to be super techy,” or “this is going to take hours to prep,” I made this for you. I walk through what’s actually true about gamifying lessons and why the right kind of digital game can turn passive students into active participants. I also break down what digital games really do well: they create structure, raise participation, and make review feel like something students want to do (instead of something you have to drag them through). The goal isn’t to slap a game on top of a lesson—it’s to use simple, repeatable game frameworks that keep your teaching intentional and your students engaged. If you want to start fast, I share how to grab my 5 free digital game templates so you can edit and play in about 20 minutes and start building momentum without burning out.
