Games consoles

Last week we were able to play on different games consoles. The purpose of going on the conssoles was to see if they had any educational purpose and what that purpose was. I enjoyed all the consoles and you could see that every game could be used for educationl purposes in one way or another. The Prince of Persia could ahve been used for making up stories and being imaginative and the kinnect and wii fit could have been used for pe etc. Other than educational purposes i found the games fun to use anyway but found the Horse Riding on the Kinnect really hard and you couldn't control the horse at all and when you jumped the horse wouldn't jump. Aswell on teh brain training the ds wouldn't recognise the way i said blue so it got quite frustrating.

Debate

Our team won the debate and i feel that it went really well and we amnaged to put our poits across in a fair and informative way to get across the reasoning behind our arguements.

Gaming

LAst week we all had to have a go on a game and i had to play privates. It was a game informing teenagers about sex, preventations of sexually transmitted diseases and different sexually transmitted diseases. it was put across in a fun way but was also very informative and quite challenging and the consequences of what you did in the game gave you real life situations and what could really happen. The game would have been very useful for teenagers as it was a way of getting the points about sex across in a way that they wouldn't feel intimidated or embarassed.
