Educational Gaming

Video games have become more and more popular in the last couple of years. We use the Wii to create exercise while playing. We are now going to try to create videos games for learning. We have all played games to try and help master an educational objective. We have all used studyisland to help use in Math and Language Arts. Now that we are looking at creating games to help future students master objectives I am asking for your opinion on educational gaming. I know most students enjoy playing games while learning, but do you all feel the same?

What are some educational games you played?
Do you remember anything you learned playing a game?
Do you think games can create a learning atmosphere?

Hello students, hope you guys have enjoyed your three day weekend. Tomorrow is back to work. We will start the unit on paper prototyping, you guys will start to look more at your game you will create. Hope everyone's team is working our great. We will be joined by Mrs. Barker's 7th graders for the next couple of days, she will be at a conference. Hope everyone is enjoying the class so far.

Math Blogs

Hello Globaloria students, sorry I have missed you guys the last couple of days. I am really impressed with most of your blogs. Great job, very interesting, especially most of your videos. Well we all know that Friday is our blog day. So lets talk about our topic for this weeks blog. You need to go out and find any blogs about Math and add them to your blog roll. After adding them to your blog, write about why you added those blogs. I have added a couple of math blogs to my roll, you can go and check them out. Check out the optical illusion on the second blog. Also check out the video, see if you can find anything in the picture. Good Luck and I will see you Monday.
