This newspaper article I found on the internet is about how video games can enhance the learning process for children. The MacArthur Foundation is funding a $50 million research project to make educational video games that can be played at home or in the classroom. The experts in the article say that video games are motivating and give instant feedback, which can allow students to be more interested in their learning. The games will be educational and not violent, and because video games are so popular, the games may be welcomed with open arms by kids and teens.
I really liked this article because it is introducing a new idea of how to use technology in the classroom. I know that video games are really popular for the new generation, and students will find them really fun to use. I also liked the article because it interviews more than one expert, to get a well-rounded view on how this idea is going to pan out. Technology is the wave of the future, so people need to mold it into all kinds of forms to help kids in the classroom. Educational video-games are also great because they can be motivational and good practice for students because it gives instant feedback.
