Ger 678 | Theme: attributes of games Music: Narrator: the context of games for learning is still very much in a fluid and changing state | |
Ger | Theme: challenges Music: Narrator: one challenge to using games for learning is teachers. There is reluctance among some to adopt new educational technology because of a fear of being replaced by the technology. And others don’t want to find out that they know less about the topic than their students. | |
Ger | Theme: challenges Music: Narrator: another challenge is cost. In a recent survey of game developers, it was reported that 25% of games developed cost between 100k and 500k. and another 15% cost between 1m and 10m. | |
Ger 683 | Theme: obstacles Music: Narrator: the reluctance of some educators to embrace games for learning is based on the social perceptions of games. Some are only familiar with the most violent of games. Those that challenge to the player to shoot more, steal more, and crash more. | |
