Our last lesson took place in the Mumbles room, where we had the opportunity to try out different types of gaming consoles and technology. There was 5 gaming stations in total set out around the room and in groups we all went around each station spending about 15 minutes playing on the games. Once we had played each game we were asked to fill in an evaluation form explaining what we liked and disliked about the game and how we think it could help within the educational environment. As I enjoy playing some game especially on the Nintendo Wii, I found this lesson really enjoyable and fun.
The 5 games we got to try out were:
- Wii sport - including tennis, bowling, golf, boxing and many more
- adventure land (xbox connect)
- doctor who (on a tablet)
- just dance ( Nintendo Wii)
- mystery game (Ipad)
After this lesson I have learnt that a lot of these games and consoles could definitely be incorporated in the educational classroom environment, and I think most children would become more engaged in learning if they were to play and experiment with all of these.
