Gammmessss :O

I thought we had walked into the wrong class last week for ICT. The room was set up with just game consoles.... X-box Kinect, Wii Fit, Play Station 2.... However Mandy explained that we were going to play the games and think about how they could be used in Education. Using a sheet prepared by Mandy were were asked to think about how the games could help develop basic, physical and problem solving skills. It was quite surprising that many of the games we played could actually be beneficial in an educational setting. It was interesting to look at playing games in a different way, other than just for pleasure. Although there was a purpose to this lecture I can't help thinking that Mandy just wanted to giggle at us looking like idiots kicking, hurdling and hitting mid air whilst playing on the wii fit and Kinect!! he he x
