Day4--Afternoon

What interested you in video games as a form of teaching?

I enjoy playing video games myself and think that it would be a great way to teach those students who may be wonderful at video games but not have the confidence to succeed in the classroom. This method is less threatening than traditional paper and pencil learning. The student may have issues with reading or something else that may keep them from giving it their all in the classroom. If they can find a niche in which they are comfortable, perhaps they can build confidence and eventually bloom in the traditional classroom also.
