What Computers Do Well • Simulation • Immersion • Fantasy • Dopamine • “What if?” cause and effect • Data • Tracking • Adapt to the user
Why Games? • Attention • Motivation • “Meet children where they are” • Intrinsic – of it’s nature • Autonomous – harmony with self • Volition – power of willful choosing
Didactic vs. Doing • Marian Diamond: we learn by doing • Valid curriculum • Authentic • Actions/results • Reflect/conceptualize • Assessment • Transference
Power of Stories • “Something that happens to characters that you care about” • Emotional attachment • Involvement (interactive play) • Cognition • Emotion • Remembering
Who Said That? “The student can find no possible means of involvement for himself, nor can he discover how the educational scene relates to the “mythic” world… The school drop-out situation will get very much worse because of the frustration of the student need for participation in the learning process. We are entering the new age of education that is programmed for discovery rather than instruction… Games are dramatic models of our psychological lives. Games as popular art forms offer to all an immediate means of participation in the full life of a society, such as no single role or job can offer.”
