Why a Gaming Page?

The truth is I have played a lot of videogames both as a kid and as an adult and I can tell you that I learnt far more economics from Simcity than I did from my My year 9 Accounting teacher.  I learnt more about history from Civilization and Call of Duty than from a text book.  Above all else I had a hell of a lot of fun playing endless hours of 4 player MarioKart and Goldeneye as a teenager as  my mind worked overtime trying to keep ahead of mates to outwit, out strategize and generally punish them at every opportunity.  Games are excellent learning tools and every kid knows this - see what you can learn about them.

The Nintendo DS classroom

| DateWednesday, November 18, 2009 at 6:44AM

Let's face it every second kid in primary school already has one and are more than familiar with how to use it.  The DS is a pretty sleek and intuitive pieces of hardware with touch, voice recognition and all the other basic gaming functions.  The question is could teachers see any real benefit to having these in the classroom and what might we do with them?  This article has some interesting ideas coming out of Japan that may well be available to a wider audience in 2010.  Take a look for yourself.  Ipersonally don't know if it is a step in the right direction it seems to be the robot class dream of the 80's to me?
