Video games book
The intro to Gee's book was interesting and made many claims. He talked about the way we aren't socially recognized for reading and that every time we read our experiences influence our interpretation which I think is very accurate. I've never thought of how video games have to be more challenging in order to sell, which is an interesting phenomena. I've also never thought of how teachers could make class more interactice, engaging, challenging, and stimulating to encourage children to find school as rewarding, or at elast expend the same energy on their schoolwork, as video games. I think this is a good cue for teachers to adopt some of the learning strategies from video games to update their curriculum and adapt to our changing culture.
