The Teaching Guides in this library are available for free to teachers around the world. Most were written by professional educators in the Education Technology program at National University's graduate School of Education in California. Some are more detailed than others, but all are designed to let teachers quickly and easily incorporate mainstream video games into their standards-based curriculum in order to excite, engage and motivate their students.

Teachers should use these materials in the spirit in which they were written - as guides for tapping into the learning power of modern video games. Educators are welcome to modify the guides to accommodate their own individual learning environments and share their experiences with the BrainMeld community. Teachers are encouraged to create new lessons for the guides as well as design entirely new guides for different ages, subjects and games to add to the library.

Finally, it should be noted that these teaching guides are not yet endorsed by any mainstream educational association or government agency. They are offered to and by forward-thinking teachers eager to try new methods to reach the current generation of techno-savvy students and broaden the debate on ways to improve the modern educational system.
