PAUL ANDERSEN

As Paul Andersen says at the end of his intervention in TED, we learn from failure. To succeed in every task does not give us significant knowledge or experience, in fact, it is from failure where we become strong and solve difficult problems along the way. Sadly some parents as he mentioned just focus on scores but not on th effort that their kid put to accomplish a goal.
Now games give us, as teachers, the opportunity to motivate our students since it is fun and enjoyable. If we gamifie our lessons with rewards, missions, quests and more; for sure our students will see learning process as something appealing and will not notice they are actually learning. My viewpoint now is that games are a powerful tool that we need to explote and make it part of out methodology to help kids, teenagers and even adults to learn better.
