PLATFORMER

Platformer games as action games are very entertaining and challenging since its competitive nature. Trying to overcome obstacles along the way, catching points and jumping over enemies with great speed as in SONIC game, I felt as a truly heroe!  Platformer games encourage the tenacity and determination in our students. Games are great tools to hook students in the learning process if they are applied properly! For example "Bowman" could be used to notice force and angles as you can see below. I share some screen captures of the games I played. Sadly I could not play Mario for the plugins in my computer =(

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. Below the video, enjoy!
