FInal Game Studies PRoposial

Final Game Studies Proposal

 

    The message I want to get across for my final game studies project is that education flash games are not only fun and visually stimulating for students but are beneficial for them as well. I think that these games are beneficial for problem solving, critical thinking, and multi tasking. I as well propose that the games are beneficial across the board for all ages of students, but mainly elementary students. I think that math games are the best games that help students. Math is one of the more difficult subject areas for students and the more practice they have with it and the more fun that the practice is the more the students should get from it.

 

    My plan is to write a small information piece ( 1-2 pages) that states my ideas of what I want to accomplish with my idea and than compose a lesson plan (1-3 pages)  that is "chock" full of these games for a math lesson. Than I have been taking pictures of my interning class of them playing these games in the computer lab and I want to make a digital Collage using Picasa from Google.

 

     I truly think through observation and watching of math grades in the second grade class that I am in now that extra math work and these games help the students build their "math brains". Math is undoable besides English either the most hated or liked subject in school and it one of the two subjects that a person really will use their whole lives. That is why it works on so much in the classroom and during extra time. I hope that you like this idea that you approve of it. I know that this idea probably isn’t what exactly you may have in mind for this project but, I like that it is not only toward flash games which is a type of concentration for the class but it is geared toward my area of interest. And it proves that these are worth having for learning in the classroom and don’t need to be shunned for not being beneficial.
