Conclusion Post (311b)
Time to say goodbye to the topic of gaming in the classroom? I think not. I fully intend to utilize quite a few ideas that I’ve written about and researched in this/for this blog within my own classrooms. I am a fully knowledgeable software “acquirer” and could connect a class in a lot of the ways I’ve discussed. I think the wave of the future for the classrooms really is gaming, as it is a lot of what kids in this modern age know. I know, for one, that my brother knew how to utilize a Playstation Controller before he could read time or use a tv remote. What it boils down to is funding and effort. Since the technology for a lot of the games that I’ve mentioned is cheap now, and I definitely have the motivation to utilize them, I do not see any barriers to utilizing a lot of the ideas I’ve presented.
As far as the whole project goes…I was less satisfied with the results of this blog in comparison to my 310 blog. I just didn’t learn as much. Overall I feel that it was a success, though, since I did get a lot of new ideas about what exactly writing and reading has to do with video games.
