I was searching info on gaming and I found the exact questions listed on the handout. I was able to watch some of the video's posted on the educause website. The thing that I was interested in the most was the controversial nature of the games. Because games or simulations are associated with fun and "play" people consider this noneducational. According to my research...games are a hands on colorful experience. Learning appeals and motivates the students...a fun way to transfer learning. Since the learner uses so many different types of skill in gaming, the outcome is them using higher order of thinking. I feel that being an art teacher gaming would be a great option for students. It might spark their interest to create or participate.
