I mean, yeah. More than that, the reading made some really good points. I remember being in school and ‘playing’ typing games in which the faster and more accurate you typed, the more points and goals you accomplished (not fun, but I can type without looking at my keyboard now). Had my teacher covered my computer keys, and given me a game in which I could type my own responses or manipulate the game in my own way instead of typing what was in front of me my typing education would have been more fun. I don’t think I would have ever thought to make a math game about being part of a rock band (but that’s why we come to college). I feel like using the authors 5 points will help me better develop some of my educational game goals, and help me think outside the box. No more chocolate covered broccoli.
