technology and curriculum

Reflection
One thing for sure as the end of school arrives, I forget more than ever to write these reflections. One thing that interested me last week was Jenny's comment about her son and using video games educationally. He had suggested a game using history and it made sense to me. This is such an exciting idea because kids love video games and if you can educate them while they are having fun.......well, it works.
Youth knows the computer and lives the computer as only youth who grew up with the computer can. This is so true but for someone my age (old) this idea is just incredible. It is like when I grew up TV started.
