I especially found your analogy between good tutorials and good lesson plans very helpful. I think I have subconsciously used this criteria to critique games and decide which ones I would allow in my classroom versus those that I deemed having no place there, but I was never consciously aware of why I was making these judgments. This post lays everything out for me and game me a more meta-cognitive perspective of how to select video games for the classroom and how they relate to lesson plans.

For a teacher the strategy of the lesson plans should be developed to produce effective learning. With a game, students should learn to strategic ways to win this means by abiding by the rules and creating predictions or evaluations. I really like that you stated that because I actually did not put two and two together! Great insight!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319106249192216920noreply@blogger.com
