Instead of meeting in class tomorrow, I would like you to read (and learn from) the following:
Chapter 7 pages 187-196 (Gaming);
5 blog entries about gaming from the blog When Tech Met Ed at http://when-tech-met-ed.blogspot.com/search/label/Gaming;
blog post "Gaming and learning - are they connected?" at http://pipedreams-education.ca/2011/09/17/gaming-and-learning-are-they-connected/
Please remember that learning involves exploring. When you read a blog post, you may find that there are many links to other articles, sites, lessons, and videos. Take a look at some of these. Does gaming have use in our educational settings?
Please also try out/preview/look at/read reviews of at least 3 of the games listed in the following places:
Chapter 7, especially page 195
- or linked from one of the blogs you read
- or for our PE majors, try this series of articles and links (start with "What is Active Gaming" and go on from there) to games at http://pecentral.org/activegaming/index.html
in the link on Week 8 in D2L "select a game" at https://oc.okstate.edu/content/enforced/627580-J_EDTC3123TH_002_116/games_list.html?_&d2lSessionVal=j-3xFcnSTKJOifsj8DZiEfQKFhI
Post your thoughts about gaming and the games you tried on our blog and be ready to discuss and continue exploring this topic on Wednesday!
What did you learn about gaming in an educational setting? Did you find anything you want to share with others?
