  • 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.

      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.

      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.

      I think that within "Lessons learned from Florida" it is evident that teaching practices need to build and support our students so that they are indeed able to use higher level thinking in order to perform. We need to be teaching reading for enjoyment and meaning, not reading for speed or to pass a grade. It is horrible to put that amount of pressure on our young students...
