The 'great' debate

Well there's nothing like a debate to wake 2b up on a thursday morning(well thoes who attended anyway!!) Personally I feel that our argument 'for' gaming in eductaion was stronger and the proof is in the pudding because we won!! woop woop!!

I really enjoyed the debate, it made me think in deoth about the different arguments surrounding gaming in education, as children activiely choose to play games then i think that educators should be using this to their advantage. Games can be used as an excellent way for learners to enage with subjects.

Watch this space!!

Hwyl :)

Trafalgar Origins.... BOOOOOM

A game about tactics and history... Initially i found this game fun but as the levels got harder I began to get frustrated. I think this was due to the short amount of time we were given to play the game. If given longer i think it would have become easier and more enjoyable.

BETT

Our first ICT lesson after visiting BETT. What an amazing place and a great opportunity to see the types of software and hardware around that help support learning. The size of the place was overwhelming. I found the 3D learning stand brilliant and think that it would be a really effective way to teach and get pupils to really realte to a subject. The second day we visited the Natural History Museum and spent a few hours wandering around learning about evolution and the dinosaurs which was really interesting!

Year 2.... The end is in sight!!

Just been informed by Mandy that we have a PGCE interview this year ahhh panic!! Oh well it's the start of our second term of our second year, glad to be back in some sort of routine after the holidays. Excited about the trip to London next week to see what BETT has to offer :). Hope I enjoy ICT as much this year as i did lat year. Adios amigo!
