Cool.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This paper takes a fresh look at the Clark\/Kozma debate from the perspective of 21st century new media technologies in general and serious games in particular. After a brief re-cap of the key elements of the debate, a relatively recent article by R.E.Clark is summarized that brings serious games into the conversation. Clark\u2019s allegations are addressed and the case is made that digital games form a distinct medium that can not easily be lumped in with other educational technologies. The author draws on over a decade of personal experience teaching with games to move the debate to the next level and offer some recommendations for when and how games can be used effectively in formal contexts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6318\" src=\"http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/snap02859-300x190.png\" alt=\"snap02859\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/snap02859-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/snap02859-768x485.png 768w, https:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/snap02859-1024x647.png 1024w, https:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/snap02859.png 1154w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Becker, K.
