Will it blend? Learning.

Study! Boring. Game! Fun! At least for gamers. But If there are no knowledge floating around us. There will be no game or gamers. So teacher nowadays uses modern day technology to teach. Surprisingly games are blending. Blending into the learning sociality. Where every nerds can learn while play game and gamers play while learning! What a wonderful news! At least for gamer.

Sadly it won't be first person shooter by anytime soon as it seems. So the main point is the way we study and how we study. In the past we used book, tree after tree. Nowadays tablet, iPad after iPad.


MinecraftEdu!

As we talk, the technology evolves into a greater and faster creating. By using the technology we can have a teacher-in-PC which is what we are trying to achieve nowadays. MinecraftEdu for example is a form of game which is also a form of learning. Researches shows that using game to educate future children have greater effect on learning than traditional learning. Like youtube!

Yea!

In the future where everyone watches video to prepare for finals. "Hey which that, that , and that and you will be fine for the the test". Will the future be in such way? Only time will tell.
