This artifact demonstrates an opportunity for students to demonstrate fluency in a technology system and transfer that knowledge to a new situation.
Using Paul McGee's text, What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy, I built an activity addressing hazard identification in the workplace. The following principles are built into the activity:
-
Active, critical learning
-
Incremental principle
-
Just in time principle
-
Multiple routes principle
-
Transfer principle
These principles encourage students to draw upon the same skills that have been proven successful in video game learning.
