Gaming and Education
I took a look at this YouTube movie and came across a few ideas that i myself had not really considered in the past. Although i am very much into gaming i had not really considered the educational benefits of gaming. I had thought games like Age of Empires could be potentially educational but i had not considered the ideas put forward about the physics that could come from some games.
The right games used effectively could be useful tools for teachers. However, for a teacher to use games in the classroom he or she must have a clear understanding of the purpose for using the game and be sure of the educational value of the game. This issue is also discussed by Jenni as she discusses the need for teacher evaluation of games.
