Epistemic Games

David Williamson Shaffer, the author of the book “How Computer Games Help Children Learn,” described:

…computer games that can help students learn to think like engineers, urban planners, journalists, lawyers, and other innovative professionals, giving them the tools they need to survive in a changing world. When students play epistemic games, they participate in simulations of a society that they might someday inhabit. These games help them to develop ways of thinking and knowing that are valued in the world, giving them a way to imagine who they might someday become.

"Epistemic games are games that help players learn the ways of thinking–the epistemologies–of the digital age". I would like to add, making games can help children to learn the ways of thinking...and hopefully this goes into the same faculty, the faculty of epistemic games.
