Now me of all people would argue you down that I am NOT a gamer. That my life is too busy and I have way more interesting things to do besides "game" all day and night. Well, I am here to tell you that I am Jay and I am a gamer. I always associated gaming with video games like the Wii, PSP, Nintendo, or some thing of that sort. Never did I feel like my beloved scramble, words with friends, and bejeweled were just as much as gaming if I were using a controller. The controller is my keyboard, keypad, and iPad. Yes, I am Jay and I am a gamer! What am I doing??? Oh, yes I am gaming. I am part of millions who enjoy these types of gaming interactions. Funny that what Ted described can easily be translated and used efficiently in my own education process. The thrill, the motivation, the need for achievement, the interactiveness, the engagement, the reward, the advancement...all things that can be used to facilitate my learning.
Soooo, what are we doing??? Oh, yes we are gaming for education...again :)!
