Some had been teaching for thirty years and still enthusiastically embraced everything from twitter to the gamification of education. They were problem solvers. I often heard, ‘if I tweak it here, I can solve this problem’ They are inquirers. This modeled not just problem solving but critical thinking.

The gamification of concepts can completely change the way a student learns, and the implementation of virtual reality in classrooms can allow students to see different concepts unfold with their own eyes. VR promotes active learning through immersive experiences in virtual environments, helping students TO hone their problem-solving skills.

We can’t assume every student has access to a computer or the internet. In a school where every student receives a laptop, this is no problem. If every child is not able to participate in digital games, they can learn and collaborate equally well through hands-on, problem-solving games.

And there was one way in which Ed and I were very much aligned: both of our lives were deeply influenced by computers and computing. Ed had started with computers in 1956—as part of one of the very first cohorts of programmers. Finally I felt as if there might be a plausible computational foundation for fundamental physics.
