Abstract

Learning is a serious endeavor. When most students envision a learning environment, the words “play” and “fun” are not usually the first things to come to their minds. Perhaps they should be. Perhaps students should look forward to going to class, because they seriously intend to learn something, and because they hope to experience some “serious” fun.
