Game - Based Learning


I attended a webinar in 18/3/2015 about:Education in Play with Lee Sheldon, Associate Professor in the Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
He said:The children of today need the techniques of today to learn. This does not mean a blind faith in technology, such as video games or social media clumsily shoehorned into a curriculum like a stepsister’s foot vainly squeezed into Cinderella’s slipper. The multi-player classroom is not a class that uses video games to teach; instead it uses the craft of game design to create an entire class as a real-time multi-player game. Elements include grading by accretion, learning by failing, intrinsic rewards, peer teaching and more. Recent studies bear out initial anecdotal evidence from hundreds of teachers: the average grade for a class has risen from a C to a B. Students are creating their own assignments. Class attendance is almost perfect. The multi-player classroom uses the techniques today’s world uses to communicate with us, so that we can teach our children in a language they understand. In this webinar for the edWeb.net Game-Based Learning community, Lee Sheldon explored the multi-player classroom. Topics covered included: an introduction to the history and philosophy behind multi-player classrooms; identifying ways to apply elements of games to your own classes; and methods for turning parents, other teachers and administrators into enthusiastic supporters of the multi- player classroom.
But when the professor was asked about a clear way for assignment he didn't have any answer, he said that this is another people job, that what made things come complicated because he suggested an idea that is not complete yet.

WORK IS POSITIVE


Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. 
                                    


 If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.We all have mistakes and many problems in our lives, but still standing in one place is worse than working with many fails. Always stand up again and try at the end sure youy will reach your high goal.
For that I always think that I must:
 THINK, DO, and BE POSITIVE.

Teacher's Day

A good teacher is he or she who teaches his or her students perfectly and instructively. He tries to pull out the hidden treasures from the students. He makes himself ready for school in the every morning and reaches school early and sometimes he does official works.
He teaches his students from heart more than from books.
For that all he deserves to be honored. Happy Teacher's day to all teachers all around the world!
