Gaming in Education is relevant to the teaching and learning of our 21st Century students. A virtual game is a way to motivate and teach the digital learners we have. They revolve around a digital world so it is really important for them to learn from it. As an educator, it is my responsiblity to remind them about the values they need to know for the game and I always make sure to integrate media literacy everytime I use it. I use games most of the time to assess the lesson we had for the day. I use the Jefferson County Schools website to create a Jeopardy game. I have used different games in my classroom. I even have and used the Family Feud DVD game with my students. They had fun and at the same time learn from it. Games stimulate the mind even under pressure. It is a very powerful tool in teaching our digital learners.
