Gaming goes to School | Education Development Center

  • The center will develop year-long curricular supports for seventh-grade science students, with four game modules supplementing traditional instruction. Known as Super Sleuths, the curriculum will engage teachers and students in in-depth explorations of scientific problems, countering students’ scientific misconceptions, reading difficulties, and lack of motivation. Pasnik and her colleagues see educational potential in the experience of gaming as students test strategies, discover their mistakes and successes, and use that information to make progress.
  • n the process, student teams use the Nintendo DS as a combination portable lab, field notebook, scientific instrument, and communicator. The devices enable student groups to collect and analyze data as well as build hypotheses for solving problems posed by the unit. The games will supplement more traditional classroom learning materials. Many of the activities also build literacy skills. Mini-games support an array of language activities, such as discerning word meanings from the context of a passage and looking up words in easily available digital reference materials. “The real potential of this kind of game is not so much in delivering content and facts as permitting the kind of inquiry-driven investigations that are difficult to accomplish in real-life classrooms,” says EDC’s Cornelia Brunner, author of The New Media Literacy Handbook: An Educator’s Guide to Bringing New Media into the Classroom.
