Seriously play the news in the classroom

Fostering critical thinking in news literacy through gamification in education

NewsArcade@Classroom is a fun and educational continuation of the NewsArcade – Seriously Play the News! project. It was first created to turn real news stories into games, helping young people understand the news better. NewsArcade@Classroom is made for students aged 12 to 25 and helps them to think more critically about what they read or see online, understand how the media works, and create their own news stories via our educational authoring tool. It also gives teachers useful tools and resources to teach media and information literacy in an engaging way.
