Week 15- Using Games for teaching and learning

  In class we learned how games are used in classrooms today in society in order for students to learn and how these games have shifted over the years.  An example of a game we learned about was called Take Back Illinois and it was a game for learning about Politics.  In the game you had to learn how to pass bills and move up in the political world.  It is a great educational game to learn about the topic of politics.
  My major is Special Education and I believe that games are a great way to learn material.  It is a fun way to get the students interacted in the material.  Children love to have fun and whats better than having them play a game in order to learn stuff, I feel like this is a great technique to use in the education world.  Here is a website to a game called Wheel of Fortune, http://www.gamehouse.com/wheel-of-fortune which teaches you about marketing.
