Crossing the bridge thoughts- I wasn\u2019t in class so I didn\u2019t get to see it played, but I looked up images and it looks similar to some of the other games as have looked up where you have to walk and maneuver through things with the character. It also looks similar to some modern-ish games like stick ninja or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What learning games have you played?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cool math games is still fun and sum dog used to be the shit in elementary school. At the time I didn\u2019t think I was actually learning anything or at least practicing math but it is an effective way to keep kids sharp. While I liked cool math games better, I think sumdog was a better learning game because it wasn\u2019t as broad as cool math games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is ian bogost\u2019s argument and do you agree?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n His argument is that \u201cgamification is marketing bullshit, invented by consultants as a means to capture the wild, coveted beast that is video games and to domesticate it for use in the grey, hopeless wasteland of big business, where bullshit already reigns anyway.\u201d I agree with him, while I\u2019m not well versed in the game community, all marketing has some twisted\/ or un-true element to entice consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is a serious game and why aren\u2019t they chocolate covered broccoli?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Serious Gaming is used to teach and provide a message. \u201cGames that blur the line between fun and education\u201d\u2026can be called chocolate covered broccoli. \u201cA coating of sweet does not make the learning suddenly fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n New ideas for a serious game<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Match statistics\/facts with things in nature to learn about how the environment is being effected by humans<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Fill out a bingo card of common items that are over consumed and see the amount of over consumption you participate in. For example- owning more than 5 reusable water bottles<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0kids game where they have to practice multiplication to collect items in the grocery store to complete a recipe card. The reward is being able to cook or bake the recipe<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Alana Tush Crossing the bridge thoughts- I wasn\u2019t in class so I didn\u2019t get to see it played, but I looked up images and it looks similar to some of the other games as have looked up where you have to walk and maneuver through things with the character.
