  • gaming plays a major role in many of our students’ lives
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      So true, especially at the MS age.
  • we need to develop ways of integrating gaming and learning
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      I agree. How can we make gaming in the classroom more legitimate? Do you think parents think that you are wasting valuable instruction time?
  • Most educators will agree with that there is a similarity between the skills you need to succeed in schools and needed for games.  These include problem solving skills, attention to detail, creativity, and persistence

      Very nice comment and a great way to back up your previous statement!

  • “game environments enable players to construct understanding actively, and at individual paces, and that well-designed games enable players to advance on different paths at different rates in response to each player’s interests and abilities, while also fostering collaboration and learning”
  • parents and teachers have many concerns including aligning games with content standards, an unfamiliarity with the games, designing assessment tools, lack of research-based methods, and the cost of equipment and other resources

      Nice overview of the counter point.
  • What message are we sending our students in regards to technology if our classrooms do not mirror the rest of the world.

      You raise an excellent question here, and it is a question, so it needs a ? at the end.

  • Whether students are playing math fact drill games on the computer or participating in a virtual world of problem solving such as Minecraft, students are connecting in the classroom.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 23 Sep 13
       
      How are students connecting by playing math fact games? Expand on this thought a little more.
  • Gaming has a way of increasing students’ participation and interest in education.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 23 Sep 13
       
      What data or research have you found that backs up this statement?
  • Games such as the later enhance the learning experience for many students, providing an opportunity for higher-level thinking and problem solving in a virtual setting. 
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 23 Sep 13
       
      This is an important point and may get at why students seem to show increased interest in gaming.

  • Games are successful when used lightly and thoughtfully.
  • Keep gaming curriculum based and focus on vocabulary that students need to master.

  • I feel theres a difference between classroom games and what students see as "gaming"
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 21 Sep 13
       
      What do you see as the difference? Why and how is your perception of gaming different than students? Please explain.
  • Since gaming as become such an addiction
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 21 Sep 13
       
      What data do you have or did you find that backs up this statement? Has research shown gaming is an addiction?
  • why not try and use this to our advantage
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 21 Sep 13
       
      I agree that educators should look toward things students are passionate about to engage them in authentic learning experiences.

  • For some of them, games were all they wanted to do, write about, and think about.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 24 Sep 13
       
      Why do you think games appeal to your students so much? Would love to hear you expand on this thought.
  • In education, the motivational aspect of games could be used as a vehicle to reach learning objectives.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 24 Sep 13
       
      What type of learning objectives do you think could be reached through gaming?
  • For example, an elementary teacher was using data from the Wii bowling game to give his students practice with recording data and graphing.

  • I have found that students who can engage in an educational games are more excited to practice.
  • The actual gaming portion offers rewards like badges, scores and timed challenges.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 23 Sep 13
       
      Interesting that gaming involves badges, another one of the items in the report.
  • There is even a push for students to create their own video games.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 23 Sep 13
       
      I think this is something that we will see grow as the years pass.

  • Students might be engaging in the activity but not benefiting from it for a variety of reasons. Monitoring your students for success is still necessary.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 23 Sep 13
       
      This is an important point. As a teacher how can/will you monitor your students?

  • Modern video games are an experience, a way to interact with real people, and many have educational value.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      great point. already looking forward to reading the rest of this post!
  • Students go nuts trying to verify this: they measure parts of the room, they estimate the size of the gun, all to get accurate physical numbers to quantify the game's physics.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      This is a really nice classroom example
  • They are able to experience these laws of science on a real level and through trial and error can master these concepts
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      Plus, since kids play games in real life, it draws on their interests and passions. Great way to engage

      I'd be interested to hear why you believe this statement.
  • He claims this is like reading and writing.  When you learn to read and write, it opens the door for to learn other things.  When you learn to read, you can read to learn.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      Very nice connection to literacy!
  • Boys need more interaction with male role models, especially in the classroom.
  • Many educational games are basically digital flash cards.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 01 Oct 13
       
      Why do you think this is? I'd say most likely because edu game developers usually are not educators?
  • Educators need to set aside the old paradigms of education and focus more on what students are doing in the virtual space.

    This is the source that The Ohio Department of Education would like parents and teachers to use. They have two really great resources. It includes phonics, and a variety of fiction stories, and using highlighting to focus on reading left to right. On the other hand, does every student learn the same way? What other resources can families and teachers use?
