week 2 - Should Students Play Games in School? (week 2, post 3)

Games can be a valuable learning tool to reinforce concepts previously introduced. If the game is constructed with higher levels to be achieved, other information can be deducted by moving onto the next stage. Games are visually stimulating, quickly gratifying and can be used if only a limited amoun of time allows. In some cases, the student may be able to "save" their work and continue another day.

Positive reinforcement is used to achieve more points or higher levels therefore more information in some cases. The instructor may use the priveledge of using this technology to students who complete previously noted assignments correctly meeting the criteria.

Games can be interactive, which instantly engages the student. Students are personally involved in learning in a fun, creative and  animated way. Being naturally competitive, students are motivated to move through the process. Even if they are only competing with themselves, they want to continue until they succeed.

I too have enjoyed online interactive activities I have found avaiable. A simple search of a topic yeilds many examples of trial activities or software to choose from.

Week 2

I have been trying out these blogs. I was able to copy and paste one of your blog link to my browser to pull up a students' blog. I saw that she posted today too.

1) Is there a way to link our blogs easier?
2) What does "collect" on the discussion board mean?
