Found an interesting article online today - which makes it look like I was doing research for my ICT module, but in fact I was looking for information on a completely unrelated topic. Anyway,in the course of my meandering I happened across a quote which made me think of my ICT module, so I looked up the source of the quote, and it turns out that it is a really interesting thought on the similarities between the skills used when learning how to play a computer game and the skills which are required to be successful in school.
The article argues more that school based learning should in fact learn from games, creating a more incremental and meaningful sort of learning - learning that is used immediately and usefully in order to achieve a goal. It is not obviously useful for my essay - which is more about using games within education, but is certainly thought provoking. Find the article here: Good Learning
Another interesting thing I came across this morning is a "prezi" about maths education, and I am impressed by both the content and the way of presenting it. Wondering if it might be an innovative way to present my next uni presentation! Check it out here: Math is not linear
What I haven't done this weeek - and REALLY should have - is finished my Understading the Learner essay. I cannot think where the week has vanished to - Friday already!!!
