DESCRIPTION

Schools are finally catching on to the amazing opportunity that tablets bring to engage students to promote learning and skill building. With the expansive efforts to bring iPads to the classroom, students are tapping in to the opportunity to learn using the most natural and easy to use platform for delivering learning. Teachers are also discovering new tools to use in curriculum design and lesson planning to engage students while meeting Common Core State Standards (CCSS). From learning “games” to gesture-based exercises to content delivery, students are learning from the most easy-to-use device available on the market today.

What Common Core Expects What Games Deliver

Close reading to determine what text says and make logical inferences. In most games, players can’t progress without this.

Determination of central ideas. Required to understand the game’s big picture because few are based on common knowledge.

Analysis of how and why individuals, events, ideas develop and interact. This is how players determine game mechanics.

Interpretation of words and phrases. Many words are game-specific (domain- specific). Players figure out meaning while playing (in context).

Assessment of point of view and purpose to shape content and style. This is how players determine good guys from bad.

Integration and evaluation of content. Games include clues players must decode to advance.

Delineation and evaluation of specific claims, as well as relevance and sufficiency of evidence.

Players must use their brains to solve problems. That’s fun.

Proficient comprehension of complex texts. Games like Minecraft are complex. That's part of their appeal. Rarely does a player give up.

What Math Standard Expects What Games Deliver

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

Students work to understand and solve problems within game constructs..

Reason abstractly and quantitatively. To play effectively requires student understand what is occurring and visualize solutions.

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

The game’s nature requires students interact with others to discern who can assist in achieving goals.

Model. Game models a reality students likely will never experience, but wish they could.

Use appropriate tools strategically.As with real life, players must determine what tools are available (both physical and psychological) and how to use them to achieve goals.

Look for and make use of structure. Life in the game works better with a plan.
