Playing to Learn is when a game is designed specifically to connect the player to the content so that the player learns the content. These are usually dubbed "educational" games, ones that are solely for the purpose of education its players (unlike others that might focus on entertainment and happen to educate its players). For the purposes of the workshop, we used the facebook game "Mission: Admission" to showcase this type of game. It is a game that is dedicated to teaching students about how to enter into the college life.
