I am interested in hearing from both educators and neuroscientists concerning some of the issues below. I know there is a lot here. Please feel free to pick up on whatever interests you.
Have you incorporated the use of computer games into the teaching setting? If so, have you found it to be effective?
How do you think computer games affect youth? Do you believe that they increase violent tendencies?
What do you think about the impact of computer technology as a whole children’s’ brains? Do you think their brains are able to cope with the explosion of technology available?
How do you find children cope with multi-tasking (using different kinds of media simultaneously)? Do you think their brains are become more adept at this?
Have you incorporated non-computer play techniques into your teaching? Do you think games and play can have a role in improving attention and motivation in the classroom?
Do you feel that children have enough time to play in the modern world where most of their recreation time is consumed by controlled extra curricula activities?
What kinds of learning environments do you find motivate your students?
Have you found that adolescent students need extra motivation? If so, what techniques have you used that work best?
