91% of students are immersing themselves in games like Roblox and Minecraft for hours at a time. And yet, in classrooms, these same students struggle to stay on task for longer than 10 minutes. The question we need to ask isn't why they’re tuning out—it's how do we create a learning environment for them that's as captivating as the games they're drawn to?
This poster session examines the allure of these spaces and provides tangible methods to integrate them with traditional teaching, ensuring sustained student engagement. Educators will gain tools to navigate the shifting dynamics and preferences of a new generation of learners.
