Vidja Games

What is Gee's fundamental argument?

"I argue that schools, workplaces, families, and academic researchers have a lot to learn about learning from good computer and video games.'

What do agree or disagree with?

Video games are a great learning to tool that increase creativity, work with problem solving skills, and introduce new information.

How does it impact what you believe about good teaching?

Good teaching can involve being open to new ideas to find just another way for students to learn.

How can a program like SCRATCH be used in your classroom?

Asking students to design a game for their classmates to play for learning purposes will
1) help the student learn the information involved in the game
and
2) help familiarize the student with computers and technology
