This will revolutionise education. I have never played a video game in my life, but this video has made me think of so many good uses for concepts in games to be applied to the classroom.
The link below is to a short clip that outlines how education can use some of the positive aspects of games to engage and extend students in the classroom in the 21st century.
Concepts explained and justified in this video include: achievement levels and skills being counted from the bottom up rather than top down grading systems; classroom fairness and collegiality built into lessons; pairing school lessons with building games for after-school extensions that encourage students to build links between ideas; as well as a host of other associated skills.
If you want to use ICT in a way that empowers students and builds positive classrooms, I suggest you broaden your horizons and think about implementing some of the positive aspects of video games.
Watch the link. You won't be disappointed.
