todays debate

Today we had a debate on computer games in education. I was a judge and even though it was hard to criticise my friends it was still very fun. It was interesting hearing both sides of the argument and even though i did lots of research myself i still learnt quite a lot listening to the debate. Although argument 'for' games won i understand that it was very difficult for 'against' to put their argument across as they believe that games are good in education if the balance is right.
Had a great session today!

Tralagar origins

I played trafalgar origins in ICT today and got very frustrated, it was an interesting game and had some historical facts but if i spent more time on the game im sure i would have enjoyed it a lot more. I felt like a little child and couldnt wait to get to the next levels. The screaming noices when you killed people was a little bit disturbing lol.

BETT

Had my first BETT experience last week and had so much fun, i found out lots of interesting things and spoke to many interesting people. I enjoyed speaking to the FROG company about their interactive learning platform and while me and Rhiannon were learning Gemma went and stole a couple of FROG mugs =) We then went on a tresure hunt which was very fun.
The following day we woke up early (without hangovers) and spent the day looking around the National History Museum, Harrods and also Convent Garden. x
