End of the year wrap up
Posted by Unknown
This year we have spent our time in Gifted trying to better the school, ourselves, and the lives of the people around us. In our efforts we have tried to keep our group collaboration related to our individual topics of interest. Third quarter we decided to shift our topic to better reflect what we wanted to achieve in this class and in the discussions that followed we decided to focus our time on the different aspects of educational games.
We have been able to study and post about a number of different kinds, benefits, and parts of educational games. In the beginning we focused on what and how games were able to teach students. Ryan focused on how video games could educate student. Jordan worked with the language of games. Lindseys posts examined the story line of games and how it affected the game. Victoria researched how new technology affects games and how students respond to these games. Of course we included a lot more into our blog which helped us to build a greater understanding of what works and why.
But what did we accomplish? As group we were able to pick a topic and not only study it but do so in a way that incorporated topics that really interest us. We have found what we believe to be the best techniques for teaching students and what games best utilize these techniques. One of the ways we were able to find some of the best games was by interviewing a student who we thought was in the age group that could best benefit from the use of educational games. This isnt quite finished but here is the wrapup of our progress this year
