  • Here are a bunch of screen shots of different online games for learning.
  • Most of these appear to be aimed at kids of middle or high school age.
  • just how bad are most of these so-called ‘educational games?
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • what is out there that’s comparable in the commercial downloadable/DVD educational games sector?
  • Yes. Most "educational" games suck. They are created to make drills and tedious practice more palatable
  • If the goal is to solve as many math problems as possible in as short a time as possible, whether there are aliens or puppies or whatever, it's just not as important.
  • Commercial games have engaging environments
  • there are goals that are appropriately difficult for players
  • Most current groups making educational games do not seem to have much background (or at least they do not put much thought into) game design.
  • a quote from Will Wright, creator of Sim City, The Sims, and Spore. "Why are we even talking about 'educational games' -- as if games weren't already educational"
  • Instead of looking to attach video games to our curriculum, we should be looking to attach our curriculum to video games.

  • Technology in and of itself is not evil, and technology integrated into education is opening minds, not closing them.
  • When conducting a cost-benefit analysis, it’s only appropriate to spend as much time thinking through the benefits as it is thinking through the costs.”
  • Chickering and Gamson developed a seminal work on teaching and learning, their Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Instruction
  • Good practice in undergraduate education: 1. Encourages contact between students and faculty 2. Develops reciprocity and cooperation among students. 3. Encourages active learning. 4. Gives prompt feedback. 5. Emphasizes time on task. 6. Communicates high expectations. 7. Respects diverse talents and ways of learning.
  • technology is a powerful tool that encourages contact between students and faculty, provides avenues for reciprocity and cooperation among students, creates new venues for active learning, enables more timely and prompt feedback, and gives new opportunities to keep students on task
