Horizon Report

After reading through the Horizon Report I found many interesting things about game based learning that can help me with the netgen project that we are doing.My topic for the netgen project is integrity for game based learning. In this report it talks about how game based learning is a growing thing for the net generation. Many kids parents have the IPad which has many educational games on it for little kids. In this reading i read that game based learning gives people skills that higher education institutions strive their students to have. The skills that the games give them are collaboration, problem solving, communication, critical thinking, and digital literacy. Game based learning helps students do better in school because they are playing a game that is fun while learning. This keeps them entertained and motivated to do better. They are motivated to do better because they want to get to the next level and beat the game. Game based learning keeps kids engaged in their studies. Game based learning can help kids receive the skills that the higher education institutes strive their students to gain at a young age. If kids start by using these educational games, at a young age education can improve drastically.
