Jacob

Jacob is the Editor-in-Chief of Learning Game, where he leads a cross-functional team of educators, parents, and kid play-testers united by a simple belief: learning should be engaging, fun, and accessible to everyone. He sets the editorial bar for evidence-based reviews and guides, with a special focus on game-based learning across math, language arts, science, history, and more. Jacob’s team stress-tests resources with real learners and publishes data-driven insights so families and classrooms can trust what they use. He also champions the open web and free learning—curating practical, classroom-ready ideas without paywalls. Recent coverage spans hands-on math games, classroom-ready platforms like ABCya and FunBrain, and deep dives on Minecraft Education for teachers. When he’s not editing, Jacob is prototyping simple learning games, refining age-appropriate checklists for parents, and translating research into playful, step-by-step activities that stick.
