BloG 7

Mark Prensky is talking in this chapter how teacher can integrate games while they are teaching he list so-me of them that I think they are really good for any student development. The first one was to bring games at school and play them inside and outside of the classroom I think this will be really good for everybody because as Mark Prensky was saying in the book that he put an example of how a doctor put his team to play video games right before they are going to perform a surgery and he was saying how this was really helpful for his team he was saying that his team perform better with less mistakes than when they don’t play video games. In class the other day doctor smith told us to try a new website that is call freerice.com in this website we can play games in vocabulary and every time that you have a right answer you donate 10 grams of rice for poor people.


The second way is to use the principles behind good, complex games to make some or all of the teaching more game like I think in this class dr.Smith have done that with us I never found this class boring this was one of the most interesting class because we do different kind of stuffs every day like sometimes he send us to lab to do our work by ourselves so I think that is really cool because that means he trust us that we are going to get our job done and we also have blogs every week and in his website we can find a lot cool stuffs.

Third way is to play games that are for education purpose in his blog Dr.Smith has a link for cuny games where we can find games that are really educational and for each game there is an explanation how we can play what are the rules, how many players etc. we can play this games at home or whenever we have a free time this games are really interesting and they are not that hard to understand , even somebody that does not know how to use a computer can learn how to play this games and plus everything that you have to do is in that website too.

The last way is to play games that are not related with any type of education when we first start the class he gave us a paper with different types of websites so we can make an account in each of them. The one that I was surprised to see was youtube, because you can find a lot stuffs that are not for education purpose .
