AR4Learning 6th Question is Coming up next!
-
is free for students to play online games?

A5 I read the other day - "If kids love it, it is our responsibility to hack it for learning!"

-
A4-- I use lots of matching, and problem solving activities that get the students moving and talking. They're fun!
-
Thanks for sharing! Looks great!

A6: I've attempted all of them except Wii Sports. I played them to see what my Ss were talking about.
-
Agree. I don't believe SS have that opportunity to engage in turn taking, problem solving, sportsmanship, fun/engagement
-
-
Learning should be fun!
Creating should be fun! School should be fun!

A6: Old school NES Mario Bros. addict over here. I'm actually in the middle of writing a blog post about it!

Q:5 yES! When kids are motivated in the game it will translate to learning by transference!
-
