What are your personal feelings about video games?
Personally, I rarely play video games--computer, PlayStation, etc. I watch my husband play them quite often, though! :) I played video games frequently when I was younger (Zelda, anyone?), but lost interest as I got older and I've never gotten back into playing them. I guess I'd say that I'm ambivalent about video games at this point in my personal life.
What are your feelings about using video games as educational tools?
As a learning tool, I see great potential for the use of video games. Students of all ages play video games and this is a medium through which we can capture and maintain their interest in many content areas. The integration of technology into classrooms has increased exponentially in the past several years, allowing educators to make students' learning experiences more authentic and engaging; using video games is a natural fit in this trend.
