So far this week we've really run the gauntlet and pushed the envelope in terms of what games can do. We've read the research on Ethical communities being formed online, Games as Learning tools, Psychosocial effects of gaming and the universal quest that underlies the heart of this genre.
Today we take a little break from the high and mighty realm of theories and analysis to reflect on our experience in general and share it with each other.
Before that I'd like to comment briefly on the reading. The brief article from the Higher Ed. website had some great insights and shed light on the other reading. Because we are studying these games and the people in them we are to some extent separated from them. I hope that some of you have had some genuine fun this week in addition to merely answering questions, playing and reading.
For next Monday please e-mail your completed journals. Also look at the assignment for Monday posted in the reading. I'll be away Fri-Sun. for my wife's two baby showers in central NY. If you have questions I'll try and respond to them Sunday night or Monday morning.
I'll leave you with a quote to ponder for next week.
"I am a person whose believes that there are some things in life too important for us to give up just because achieving them might make us uncomfortable."
