Gaming in Education
I don’t know why I’m continuously drawn back to gaming in education, perhaps it’s my son who’s very bright, loves gaming and tolerates school. As I watch my grandson in awe and wonder explore his world, naturally learning and growing everyday I can’t help but wonder where we loose that awe and wonder. For my son I believe gaming is that small piece of the world where he can still use that innate desire to explore. What if we could bring that to the classroom? What if we could engage students, encourage them to explore, problem solve, think creatively and achieve our curricular goals at the same time? I just read an engaging post by Ewan McIntosh that makes me think it’s possible.
