Why Playing games is good for education!!!

Andrew Robertson (Presenter)

Computer game play - 
  • Initial Interest
  • Autonomous literacies
  • Students blogging about what they are playing, 
  • Reviewing, presenting, 
  • rich activities
Game Creating 
  • Truly creative pursuit 
  • Multi literacy
  • Creativity
  • Thinking creatively
  • Exploration
  • Working together
  • Reading symbols  
  • New texts, 
  • Creating identity
Students can take on different roles and work together on the process and achieve a common end product that is for a global audience.

What is it that the audience wants? Students are eventually their own audience!

Software creation is problem solving in practice. Strategy is important.
