Philosophy on Gaming and game design.
To me, teaching and learning is constantly evolving, the content remains the same but the methodology can and has varied over the years. The traditional classroom is no longer meeting the diverse needs of our learners thus the use of gaming can be instrumental. Strategic games improve the functioning of the brain and creates a dynamic that can inspire learners to develop skills and build an emotional connection to learning and subject matter. Moreover, through gaming students can develop their critical thinking skills, creativity, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. They mirror the way the human mind was designed to learn and motivate players to take risks and actions, persevere through failures, set and achieve increasingly difficult goals, and devote attention, time, and effort to acquiring knowledge and skills. Also, the nature and timing of learning activities through gaming can be tailored to the child’s needs and interests.
