Nice progress Nathan. I think this topic will be fun for you.

Again some good progress. Next steps: Copy the headings of someone else's needs assessment and build it out for your topic. You are catching up.

Comments from Alicia

Nathan, I think this is a very relevant topic. I like how you start by bringing up the stereotypes related to video games. This is a good way to have participants begin to shift their thinking. A suggestion I received for my course which you may find relevant,is the use of varied headings and formatting to make key concepts stand out. I look forward to learning more about this interesting topic.

Thanks Alicia. I will look into changing the headings as soon as I catch up with the rest of the class :) Thanks!

Engaging in Education -- Benjamin Jacaruso 16:07, 12 November 2012 (EST)

There's a reason kids can sit and play video games for hours at a time. It engages them and keeps their interest. Anyway we can bring that into the classroom might help with student's perception and appreciation of education. I look forward to the resources and ideas you present in the mini-course.

You've accomplished a lot on your portfolio page. Very thorough learning analysis. I like your map.

If you haven't already found him, I recommend any youtube by JP Gee. He is an excellent speaker and really does a great job in long and short videos of explaining what the benefits of gaming theory are to teaching, why kids spend so much productive time playing games and what they are learning. There is an easy to come by and read article by him called Good video games and good learning: http://www.academiccolab.org/resources/documents/Good_Learning.pdf In it he highlights 16 features of gaming that could occur in teaching.

-Your portfolio page looks excellent. Your work is all included and is very detailed. I particularly note that your outcomes are specific, so the learner knows exactly what is expected.
