ONLINE GAMES CAN MAKE A BETTER WORLD!


After watching Jane McGonigal conference, I must say that what she explained is totally true! If we would feel confident in real life as in virtual worlds maybe the problems of our planet will be solve and everybody would live happy ever after but it is not as easy as it sounds. What she is developing at her job is remarkable since through gaming people can change their way of thinking about how to do certain things. The idea of improving people's behaviour is very interesting but challenging at the same time. When we believe we are good at something even if there are problems along the way, we will be able to achieve our goals or in games to accomplish missions. What concerns me is that being so optimistics would we give less importance to the drawbacks that every process or situation has?

Mr. Haskell taught us three kinds of educational games: 1. Serious games 2. Gamification 3.

I hope to see him again because I think he is a cool professor!

Fue un día largo, con mucha información recibida que en un momento pensé "Oh Dios ¡reprobaré!" pero al final sentí que todo esto es un gran desafío que debo cumplir. Las herramientas Web 2.0 son aliados en la actualidad que aportan recursos valiosos para la creación de los tan necesarios PLE (Personal Learning Environment).  Un PLE es un espacio virtual donde el aprendiz coloca videos, enlaces, infografías, nubes de palabras, mapas conceptuales, comics, documentos, todo lo que considere valioso para su aprendizaje de esta manera el o ella gestiona su proceso educativo y se hace un ser autónomo que produce y comparte conocimiento más allá de solo consumirlo. Con nuestro grupo colaborativo hicimos nuestro mapa mental sobre PLEs y lo ilustramos en un cartel que compartimos con los demás grupos.  Durante el proceso tuvimos que explorar el trabajo de los d
