Gaming and Simulation Defined | Origin: EL115

I have learned that it is good to add variety to the learning classroom. We just need to make it purposeful and goal-centered.

motivation

I often ask my students when I first meet them.....What is your motivation? So, after each student reflects and discusses I share what was my motivation when I was in their shoes. After this, they have more a buy in that they are not alone in this journey. Then we make an agreement that we both (the student and myself) will not just quit on each other during this journey because we have a common interest to help them succeed in life.

Lack of required technology

Often times students now have their own technology. There are ways to forward information to them to review ahead of time/outside of class. If they don't have the technology, you can provide shorter hard copies of PPT. Then still implement the in class student learning process.
