I selected the above quote because it says something that is so critical in our students' education. Our job as educators is to prepare our students for the world. And as much as I hate to say it the technologies that we teach them today will be outdated by the time they reach the real world. We are trying to prepare our students for a future that doesn't exist yet. With that being said we have a responsibility to make sure that we are teaching our students with the latest methods and technologies. Too many schools are still focused on traditional methods. This quote explains why we should be using video games because this is the students' generation and we really need to be teaching them the digital components that they will need in this digital age and the even more digital age that they will soon become a part of.
Yes! Not only is game design learning based on strong learning principles it prepares students for the 21st century!
