Teachers Roles in Serious Games: Incorporating Serious Games in the Classroom of Students With Intellectual Disabilities

In this paper we revisit the belief that when using a serious game in the classroom, a motivating game used by an open minded teacher, will be more than enough. What we tend to forget is that in order to achieve integration to the educational setting, both the educator's needs and the students' abilities, should be taken into consideration. The purpose of this communication is to present a series of observations made by researchers and educators on the incorporation of serious games in the educational experience of users with intellectual disabilities.
