I kind of liked the concept, so how effective was it? Would love to hear your progress :) To an extent my life has really improved through playing single player games so I know its effective but I don't know how effective it would be for everyone else
Viewing post in Teaching With Video Games
In my experience, I would say it is just as effective as any other medium teachers use (books, movies, tv, comics, articles). I don't have clear evidence that it is the best way to teach, but it is definitely a way that should be taught. Every student learns differently and that one student who has been having a difficult time grasping a concept may finally understand after interacting with a game. These lessons have been some of my more fruitful lessons. They don't replace any of my traditional teaching methods, but they are a great addition/supplement to my course.
