Prompt:
"Find
a game that fits with your educational area of study. Play the game and
make sure it is something you would use with students.
1. Post a
response that includes a link to the game, a brief description of the game, and
the subject area of the game. Give consideration to what is being learnt
by playing the game and how this is occurring."
Response:
The
game I chose was for Language Arts and it focuses on expanding students'
vocabulary. You're given a word and then asked to choose another word with the
same meaning (Ex: Queasy means...nauseous). If you miss a word, they repeat it
to make sure you know what it means. This game has 60 levels and can be as
challenging or as easy as the instructor would like it to be.
There was
one extra perk that I really liked - for each correct answer, the World Food
Programme donates rice to help end world hunger. 1 right = 10 grains, 5 right =
50. The website has games for ALL subject areas, so check it
out!
