topic

My topic for my paper is about world of warcraft. I wanted to know more about how it started, and how it became such a popular game. I had a hard time picking something for my paper, I didn't really have an intrest in some of the things we already talked about. But I figured if I did it on world of warcraft, I might get more insight to the game and better understand its popularity.

Research

I am going to do my essay on the use of online gaming in the school systems. I am interested to find out the just how much they increase children's academic levels. I am also curious to find out if there is high or low percentage of schools that participate in online gaming as a learning tool.

Topic of Game Research

My topic of choice would be to research the philosophical aspects of gaming. I would like to find out, especially, how (if in any way) gaming relates to moral philosophy within modern society. I feel that gaming can be philosophical in its own way. Furthermore, I think it may be used to relate to society and possibly facilitate change. This seems like a fairly new subject, so I'm not sure as to what I will find. Even if my thesis is proven to not be accurate, I hope to find some new information.

Research

I am doing my essay on the educational view of gaming. I am very interested in how gaming are used in the classroom and how children, statistically, learn when they are interacting with games. So far my research has come up with a lot of online curriculum and different programs that are available to teachers but I want to know why educators started to use gaming to teach.

Brief Description

The subject that I am going to research are the 6 myths of gaming and I chose this topic because there are always arguements about how violent games make you violent or games with sex makes you want to do more sexual things etc. But that is not the case.
