Please watch the video, it is 9 minutes, and comment. I really think you would enjoy listening to this thirteen year old boy speak about his experience with gaming. I would like to hear other opinions.

Online Gaming Can Be Educational...?
Med Kharbach has shared a video on Educational Technology and Mobile Learning that features a teenage boy that shows great confidence when he talks to a group of people. What Kids Learn From Online Gaming speaks about his personal gain from playing games online. I recommend watching the video to see Lewis Tachau, who is home schooled, discuss his interaction with other children and his ability to regulate his passion for gaming with socialization. He is absolutely adorable and I think he knows more about history than I do. He has opened my eyes to a different perspective on gaming. I think that in the future there could be a lot of benefits to learning like this in school.

Ha - that kid is a better public speaker than I will probably ever be. I just don't know how I feel about learning through video games. I think I would actually need to see it employed and how kids interact with it and other students.
ReplyDeleteI guess I need to open my mind when I play games from now on. I usually play games for relaxing or stress relief. It's sad but he has better presentation and speaking presence and skills than I do.
