Quote: "Exploring. It is traditional that schools would teach students to move as fast and efficiently as possible towards a goal, but games are different. They encourage players to sit back, explore and not move on too quickly, think laterally not linearly, and to re-evaluate one’s goals on occasion."
Reflection: This quote stood out to me in more then just one way. I believe gaming is a time consuming activity, i'm not much of a gamer, but i do believe that games can help certain learning styles. For example, some people are visual learners where as a video games can give you visuals while you also try to solve the problems that lie in front of you. Video games and technology keep advancing as time passes, i believe in a matter of 5 to 10 years students will be learning through video game, because it allows you too explore different aspects of life and brings you close to reality through visual learning. Another good thing about video games, is that its not real life, if you make a major mistake it can be fixed unlike in the real world if something goes wrong its not as simple to fix the problem. I like the idea of learning through video games, i feel as if students would take more of an interest in learning, rather than just sitting around listening to someone lecture.
