What Kids Learn from Online Gaming

Day after day more and more evidence in favour of the importance of games in education is coming up to the surface.I recently published a series of posts on this topic and today I am adding a great video from TED that I found on Mind Shift.

 The video below features a middle school student( 13 years old ) who is an avid online gamer. He talked about the things he learned via the help of his favourite online games including : Wrold War II, socializing with peers, sharing his interests, knowledge, skills, and thoughts with others.

I highly recommend that you watch this video and probably bookmark it to share with your students
