Over the past few years a growing body of research has highlighted the potential for educational video games to foster highly engaged, effective learning in the classroom. These research reports from organizations such as the Federation of American Scientists, the National Science Foundation, and the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop focus mostly on learning that can result from students "playing" well-designed educational video games. In this article, the author explores the potential to foster highly engaged learning by tapping into the natural passion of students for "making" video games. Given the complex landscape of game creation platforms, a great role for school librarians would be to become a key resource for helping kids interested in making games connect to the right tools and resources. By offering information on the different game-design and game-creation tools, game-design books, and possibly hosting game-design workshops, the school library will become an invaluable resource for children whose passion is games--especially those youth in underserved communities that may not have access to such resources at home.
