Gaming can consist of many different things. One can play video games, board games, interactive games, learning games and many more. People often discuss that gaming is bad for kids to do unless it has some learning background to it. In this blog i want to explore more into the educational process that is within all types of games. There is often the misconception that those who sit in front of the television all day aren't getting any brain stimulation and I am looking forward to providing information that either supports or proves this theory wrong. For example, my opinion before doing any research is there is still some thinking involved whether it is having to think quickly when your playing an action video game to counting money while playing monopoly. These two are just an example of the possible knowledge you can gain from playing a game. Also when you play in groups you are having to deal with other people and learning to work with others in a way that you might have to in the future. You are either playing with partners and learning how to work with others or playing against someone but still have to strategize against them. These are all points that i would like to explore throughout this blog.
