A useful publication edited by a true expert in the field, detailing case studies from teachers who actually walk the walk. Of particular interest is the section on Digital game-based learning, covering Kyle Mawer (of Digital Play (2011) fame)'s use of walkthroughs and of course, my own use of parser-based Interactive Fiction in the language classroom (pages 34-35).
