Video Games
After hearing Dave Warlick speak about the use of video games in education at the recent Learning@School conference I was must say I was a bit sceptical. Today I received this from Derek Wemoth and I think it’s time for a mindset change from educators re using video games in schools.
Here’s a cool video clip that I came across on Google Video today. The topic is video games in education - it’s 23 minutes long, and is produced by the Orange County District Office of Education in the US. It provides a pretty good overview for educators who haven’t been exposed to thinking about the use of video games in education, or for those who want to understand more about the potential for learning of these games. There are some useful comments in the video by acknowledged experts in the field, including Dr James Gee and Dr Henry Jenkins, Clarke Aldridge & others.
