My views on gaming

Explain how the information in each of the two videos and presentation changed or confirmed your position on the effects of gaming on young people intellectual and social lives.

The two videos and the presentation on the effects of gaming on young people intellectual and social lives confirmed my beliefs. I agree with the statement that violent video games do not make people violent unless they have a predisposed tendency to be violent. I would like to see research on this. Video games have a great potential as educational tools. According to the videos, IQ is growing each year. Traditional classroom education will no longer do. As educators, we need to bring our teaching styles inline with how students learn and what captures their interests.

  1. The findings and opinions presented in the video have huge implication for how teachers think about schooling.

    I think there is a lot of potential in the gameification of education.

    I'll try to find some reading on that this semester!
