3 things I learned:
1. I
had never heard of the Flynn affect which is the pattern that human
intelligence is actually raising over time.
Peoples IQ’s are rising.
2.
I was very shocked by the following
fact: “50% of all innovation, and 70% of Global 2000’s apps will be gamified by
2015” - Gartner
3.
I learned and agree with the statement
get out and go play. Parent should play
with their kids and if it’s video games they choose then parents need to learn
the game too.
2 things I agree with:
1. I
agree that games are wired to produce pleasure.
I had never really thought about it like this but once I heard Mr.
Zichermann said it I really feel it makes sense. Games are produced to make people happy.
2.
I agree that a game based curriculum
could be useful. I feel games are good
in moderation. Students feel games are
fun therefore educational games are fun too.
1 question you have
1. If
gaming is so educational why are we not using it more in the classrooms? I remember playing math games in elementary
but do that do that anymore?
Most educational games do not incorporate the principles of good games and good learning. That is why it is important to understand the principles. It also important to know that you can implement the principles of good games without video games...
