Chi-Hsun_Unit2_Frasca_Q

As the article mentioned, could videogames be used as a tool for encouraging critical thinking? Or does popular video game offer any suitable way of acquainting reality? What do you think about this issue? In my opinion, I think videogames enact an important role of human’s recreation but they are still unable to be depicted exactly as human relationship!

For educators, some of them believe that videogames can be good learning tools for motor-task performance or intelletual development. I believe videogames can not only be a tool of entertainment if they are used in the right way, right time and right place.

I remember that there was a project of anchor instruction, which was designed for math, in Taiwan. The format of the project is a videogame. The learners have to use the data in the game to calculate the speed of the boat, the weight of the products and so on to complete the missions.

Any game that requires puzzle-solving will require some degree of critical thought. The applications aren't always educational or relevant to the real world, but it still helps to be forced to think outside the box once in a while.
