Gaming in the Classroom

In order to better understand how to using gaming as a launching point for learning, I have decided to become a gamer and share my insights as they relate to teaching with others. I hope this will help everyone as we begin integrating gaming into our teaching practice. I have a new blog to do this.

It seems that the link between learning and gaming is being studied in many disciplines right now. You might want to check out this title for another look, "What Video Games Have to Teach Us about Learning and Literacy" by James Paul Gee. His instructors share some demographics with yours in Mindcraft. I enjoyed your blog and appreciate the insights your journaling is providing. I will definitely be following!
