Wow, I can’t believe how fast the time has passed, this is my final reflection for 336 this semester! This week we learned about incorporating gaming into the classroom. I really liked talking about gaming because I think that it is one of the best ways to engage students in content. I believe that work students to learn about things, it’s important to present information in ways that are familiar to them.
It’s safe to say that with the surge of online gaming surfacing over the past decade, gaming not only very popular with students but very accessible for teachers. Whether it’s playing a Kahoot like we did in class, exploring/creating new worlds in Minecraft, or practicing math skills in Prodigy, I would say that gaming definitely has a place in the classroom.
