This lesson consisted of being in small groups and there were 5 'stations' that we all had to go around. These 'stations' had a different kind of computer game on there using a different form of console or technology, and had a different kind of game to play. The games were:
- Just Dance on the Wii
- Doctor Who on a table top tablet (Image on the left)
- Mystery game on the ipad
- Adventure Land on the Xbox Connect
After playing each game we then had to fill in a sort of feedback form, which included questions like:
- What did you learn?
- What aspects did you find difficult / easy?
- What skills were involved? (e.g. following menus, practical sills, problem solving)
- How could these skills be transferrable?
- How could you use this game in teaching? Links to subject areas?
- What age group do you suggest to use this game?
I didn't enjoy playing all the games as I found some frustrating, boring etc. but I really enjoyed the Adventure Land game as it seemed more fun and accessible. This lesson showed how using a game that we ply with our friends could be incorporated into teaching!
