Before we go…
Let’s not forget the educational value of gaming technology Many educators are now using strategy and skill based games as
part of their curriculum Using gaming technology as part of your educational desktop
adds a nice edge of diversity and is a keen way to keep students interest levels high
As discussed in the previous session – Microsoft has many of these games to download as trials
Some Australian schools are using such games as Flight Simulator as part of their curriculum to teach skills such as co-ordination, navigation, weather, mechanics and of course - flight skills
