Article 7: video games to reading

Videogames in the Library? What is the World Coming To?




In the past, videogames in the classroom have been looked upon with frowns and eybrown raises.  The thought of videogames in the library provokes similar sentiments as well. In Sanford's article we are drawn to notice that there is indeed a place for what is referred to as this new Web 2.0 tool.

It is well-known that motivation is the key ingredient in teaching.  Without it a lack of interest and desire can hamper any lesson.  Sanford's suggestion of using videos in the library is a clever idea for bringing motivation in to learning.
