Metaari Reports Significant Up-tick In Learning Games Investment In 2018
Below is interesting data about the significant up-tick in investment in learning games -- $2.25 billion in 2018 vs. less than a billion in 2017.
PRESS RELEASE
Investment in Game-Based Learning Sharply Up in 2018: Metaari
LOS ANGELES – Jan. 7, 2019 -- Investment in game-based learning companies was sharply up in 2018, according to leading Serious Games analyst firm Metaari. A total of $2.25 billion went to 133 companies. In contrast, less than half that amount, or $948.2 million, was invested in 150 game-based learning companies in 2017.
While the number of deals declined slightly in 2018, funding levels were much higher and investment more than doubled. Almost 100 companies reported raising substantial funds; 17 PreK-12 academic-facing companies obtained funding in 2018; 21 corporate-focused companies producing game-based training were funded. The most attractive category for investors was educational games or educational technology products for use in K-12.
Chinais the education technology center of the universe, at least for now, according to Sam Adkins, Metaari. In 2018, 51 Chinese game-based learning companies garnered a combined total of $539.3 million. Nearly 50% of all ed tech investments made in 2018 went to Chinese companies.
"This is the first time in the history of the industry that China overtook the US. A stunning $7.22 billion was invested in 207 Chinese learning technology companies in 2018," Adkins said.
In July, Metaaripredicted a 37.1% CAGR growth rate for game-based learning products over the next five years. That growth would mean revenues for games-based learning will more than quadruple to well over $17 billion by 2023.
Metaari produces annual reports on the global game-based learning market. The reports, available from Serious Play Events, include an analysis of the catalysts driving the market as well as both a demand and supply-side analysis, providing publishers with the ability to choose high-yielding opportunities.

DEVOTION: Psalm 32 English Standard Version (ESV)
Blessed Are the Forgiven
A Maskil[a] of David.
32 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly
offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;
surely in the rush of great waters,
they shall not reach him.
7 You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with bit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Dear Diary,
Its mums birthday!! We are going to the city to have dinner. I can't tell you how old she is I am afraid but I can tell you she doesn't look her age (in a good way).
Today at school we had a peaceful lesson because its friday so we had a rest! I am still excited for lincolnsfield and am too excited I feel like I am born to be happy. I am also excited about the world cup I am supporting England! Now do you get why I feel like I was born to be happy? In all of my holidays I feel free to play around and it is summer now so its nice to go out in the garden and play, right now I feel extremley hot I have to have a ice lolly! Mums calling me sorry got to go!
Bye Bye Diary see you tomorrow!!
First afternoon of holidays, Friday 21st:
I finished school at about 3 pm. Then me and 4 pals of my class went shopping for the Christmas' present. Strasbourg is so beautiful at Christmas. It's a pleasure just to go there for a walk and to admire the decorations.
Saturday 22nd:
I went horse-riding and it took all my after noon. It was very tiring and asks a lot of energy even if it's sometimes a(n) assessed/critically sport [I don't know which one is better]
Sunday 23rd:
I was with an excellent friend at Caracalla in Germany. I left home at 1.45 pm because meanwhile my brother slashed himself's arch of the eyebrows and had to go to hospital. It's such a beautiful and relaxing place with all this swimming-pool, sauna, spray... It was very pleasant and a very good moment. We came back at home at 8.30 pm. I crashed immediately out and had a deep sleep.
Monday 24th:
I didn't do anything of my day but thinking of Christmas. All my family was gathered to my Godmother for the evening. We ate chicken vol-au-vents and my uncle dressed up as Santa Clauss for the eldest. We played at the Nintendo D.S a great part of the time and sang at the karaoke on musics which hadn't any senses but it was funny and divertising. Everybody lent himself to the game even if, in reality, nobody had a nice voice. Really a smashing evening!!
Tuesday 25th:
Really tired after Christmas so I spent all the day in my bed (almost)
Wednesday 26th:
Gathered together again we went to my Grandparents to celebrate like a second Christmas. During the previous evening it snowed so we took advantages of this to sled. It was brilliant/walloping. [Don't know which one is the best]
Thursday 27th:
I've made my homework and the afternoon I went shopping.
Friday 28th:
I was very sick and brought up all the day...Avert the details.

Dear diary
I am very happy today, I went to the waterpark today, oh my god, I enjoyed it a lot! We went there, we started at 8: 00, reached at 10:00, whoa, a two hour journey, when we reached at the park, we enrolled or names, bought our tickets and then Rachel and I, splashed water on each other, and then enjoyed different slides, while Lauren and Kristen, took high slides, we then sat on tubes and then slided around the pool, then we enjoyed and admired a fabulous and marvelous dolphin show! Then we stopped by a Royal restaurant, ate to our hearts content and then tampered off to our houses, enthusiastically chattering about this fantastic day! I had lots of fun today, I have to go to sleep now Bye!
Yours
Narayan Patel
