Game creation!!!!!!

Game creation for the classroom has been a goal of mine for many years. I've been to many flash creation classes trying to create such games, but I never had enough time to really get in and play with flash to learn it. Recently, my class was assigned a task to create a game with questions about social media. 

 I'm all about free stuff nowadays and I've used many Jeopardy games in my classroom, so I did some searching and found this. Wow, this was so easy!!! 

 Social Media Arcade Game

I love asteroids, as its one of my all-time favorite games. I wish you could have seen my cat jump when I yelled seeing that my questions had been easily turned into an asteroid game!

 So go to 

 Another game I created was using Quizlet, which I've discussed before in my blog here.

A recent assignment had me looking into an article on technology and the behaviorist theory by Pavlov. I found that since Pavlov first coined the behavior theory, several others have built upon that with relation to technology including Herbert Simon (1983) and James Gibson.  One part of the article discusses security in data gathering systems. As a child is working through a program to help them practice and learn, at that same time the system is collecting data on the child. How long did it take for the child to answer, where are they having problems or excelling. Where this data comes in handy for teachers trying to meet the students needs, that data is part of a huge database. Can we define a child only by tests or progress in programs...no. A program or test can't see a child's creativity at solving problems. In addition, who has the right to have the information on that child?  The New York Times had an article on this security. It states that we need perhaps a group...

Cognitive Learning Theory.  This is the last of the pedagogical theories I’ve read about. When I first read the word, I was confused as I thought it was constructivism, which I had just covered in class. The article by, Kaya Yilmaz, says “cognitivism is a relatively recent learning theory and its features are not well known or are confused with constructivism by teachers” (p.204). This was certainly me, and for good reason, as constructivism is a theory created off of the cognitive theory.  Behaviorism Theory  Yilmaz clears up the differences beautifully stating that “The behaviorist approach was basically preoccupied with objectively observable and measurable teacher and student behaviors through a stimulus-response framework. Even though behaviorism did explain how behaviors got changed, it failed to account for how conceptual change occurred” (p.204). For more on this refer to my Behaviorist Theory blog here .  Constructivism Theory  “Learners do ...
