As and educator, I have the ability to help improve the lives of my students. I feel that it is my duty to give them all that I can to make them successful in our society, in their future. Introducing and implementing gaming into the classroom is a new concept for me but I believe that it is an important part in developing 21st century learners. The students will learn how to create and manipulate programs and tools that will give them the key problem solving and critical thinking skills that will be need in the future. Gaming can be used in all core subject areas to enhance performance across the curriculum.
Schools have the opportunity to give
teachers the key to opening a whole new world of learning to their
students. Everyone must jump on board if we as educators are going to
allow our students to strive in a new and every changing job market.
I agree with you. These 21st century skills are really developed through the use of technology. Our students relate to it and seem to be more engaged in learning through the use of technology. It is our job, you are right!
