Student Engaging Simulation

The assassination role play game played at St.Ann’s private school and other American schools is a fun learning experience for kids. At the end of the school year, high school students in groups complete “assassinations” assigned to them by a judge. The harmless “assassinations” are done by shooting the opponent with a water gun. This continues until only one team remains and they are rewarded with the winner's pot that each team contributed twenty dollars too. This organised and safe game should be allowed to continue and is a great lesson for kids.

Using persuasive writing, Wright begins to influence his audience that game play is a beneficial source of entertainment not a wasteful one. Playing video games increases creatively, self esteem and improve problem solving skills of the players. Video games are becoming test runs that appear or feel close to the real thing. Where you can control everything with added effects like magic or future technology. Games have the potential to exceed almost all other forms of entertainment media. They tell stories, play music, challenge us, allow us to instantly communicate and interact with others. Encourage us to create things, connect us to new communities, and let us play with people across the world. Unlike most other forms of media, games are inherently tangible. According to Wright young children spend their days in imaginary worlds, substituting toys and make believe into the real world that they are just beginning to explore and understand. Wright states that games are the result of imagination and that they consist of rules and goals. Generation of teenagers has grown up with different set of games. Teenagers use the scientific method rather than reading the manual first. Games today maybe a person’s only place to express a high-level of creativity and growth. Older generations have a lot of criticisms for games, the games can help a person learn to think on his or her own.

Prior to my planned matriculation into medical school, I have decided to seek gainful employment in a field that differs from my undergraduate biology courses. I do this as an attempt to gain experience from as many different subjects as possible, in return this will allow me to be a well-rounded individual. I have held a position known as the Global Wealth Investment Management Senior Operation Representative. This was a position for Bank of America/ Merrill Lynch financial advising firm. This position is offering me countless perspective on the financial world. This position has put me in the advising seat, which allows me to counsel the Financial Advisor or Client Associate, based on their record books and how to maintain or service the

The game is a simulation of an assassination game and to enter you must pay twenty dollars. In this specific game there was a total of three hundred and sixty dollars collected from the entry fee which goes to the winner. This reveals that students who participate may only be interested in winning the money. A result of this may cause the players to act subversively in order to win the prize. Nevertheless, some argue that this helps the students to become focused on their goals and such. While this may help with problem solving and strategy skills it distracts the students, in this case, from their school work and academic learning. Instead of playing these simulated violence games teens can also learn strategy skills from playing in sports, clubs, or other activities that are

Role-Playing games with simulated violence is diverting to the students because it distracts students from the real world, it can get way to extreme, and it can also be dangerous.Students at Brooklyn’s high school are playing a game with water guns and all the students that play have to pay money, all the money goes into a pot and the winning student or team wins all the money.

During Jane McGonagall’s 2010 TED Talk video “Gaming can make a better world”, she states “the average young person today in a country with a strong gamer culture will have spent ten thousand hours gaming by age 21”. Such numbers alone should pique the interest of every educator in our country. Young people today spend the same amount of time learning at school as they spend gaming (TED Talk, 2010). Many people view video games as fun, exciting, and adventurous outlets where they can escape reality and be creative innovators. As educators, we want our classrooms to accomplish similar outcomes. We want learning to be fun, exciting, and adventurous. We want our learners to be creative, critical-thinking innovators who strive to change the world. This brief dissertation will evaluate the influences gamification can have on teaching and learning, the science behind learner motivation and its connection with gamification, analyze how gamifying supports differentiated ways to teach and learn, and discuss how technologies and gamification are being used to enhance teaching and learning.

In my opinion, the information placed forward by my colleague Kerlcia Stewart was quite valid to the topic simulation tools in nurses training. Kerlcia’s discussion the concept of simulation tools in nurses training which I totally agree on. Kerlcia mentioned that simulation tools give the nurses hands on experience within the clinical setting which enables the nurse to apply clinical and critical care knowledge to conditions and situation. Moreover, I believe when nurses engage themselves in using stimulation tools it can aid them it think critical, increase their knowledge and analysis situation where they are face on a regular basis. Engaging stimulation tools in nurses training will improve the quality care in which patients will receive

"What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I understand."

We were four in our group and we were given a scenario of a patient who was having an anaphylactic reaction from bee sting venom. The group agreed that I will be the primary nurse. As the primary nurse, I knew that I had to lead and supervised our group in responding to the emergency situation at hand. Having played the role of a primary nurse in this simulation, I have gained meaningful experience, which I can use in my future nursing practice.

Everyone enjoys the sweet taste of victory and the feeling of accomplishing a goal, especially in a video game. However, video games are not just about winning. Video games are a good method to enhance our educational experience and create a career pathway for us to take. By creating a video game course within schools around the world, we are able to create a whole new generation and future that incorporates the advanced technology that is constantly improving.

As we all know that "Video Game" or "Virtual Sport" is one kind of art. Earlier this form of art was used to only entertain people and it was a tool of entertainment and also for passing the leisure time. However, now-a-days, many video games are not just a tool of entertainment, but also a tool to reform a society. The mentioned games earlier in this paper are some of them. The video game developers of these games didn't make these games for money alone, but also with a view to change the whole society and create a better place to live all the individuals equally. These games convey a very important message to the students, parents and teachers. It focuses on the very important issues of our society. In some of the high schools, colleges of Netherlands and Switzerland, The course instructors of History courses instructs their students to play Assassin's Creed games rather than only focuses on class notes to understand and visualize the historical events very deeply. Same theory goes to the Psychology Department of educational institutes as well. They suggested to play the games like The Walking Dead, Life Is Strange to improve the style of thinking and positive decision making.

Identically, playing video games has the same impression. There is the misconception that playing such games are a waste of time and are meaningless labor, but if examined meticulously, playing video games have a similar grind to that of Sisyphus; they teach things to the player that only he or she can value consciously. Viewing through the scientific lens, video games, albeit not all useful, can offer educational benefits, such as creativity and data handling skills, collaborative skills, and career exposure or experience, to students.

On the surface level, all the games presented for this assignment are directly applicable to the everyday lives that the student gamers or their parents and guardians are exposed at school or in life. While some of the games were developed to be more deliberate in their approach to reach certain content or social agenda, these games could easily be incorporated into school curricula if planned carefully. In fact, a couple of games in this week’s offerings could be a more than relevant supplement to certain core subjects and specific units of instruction and still be engaging and challenging enough to hold their attention to think critically. Additionally, one or two of the games allow for the student gamer to take learning into their own hands and create games that help themselves and their peers. Yet conversely, there was one that may be too grand in instructional scope that students may be thrown off by the amount effort just to progress within gameplay. Nevertheless, all of these games have the potential of being placed in day-to-day school instruction.

This quest for more collaboration is a big trend in the gaming industry in general. Although multi-player games have always been a big thing and with the rise of e-sports is going to be even bigger, the contemporary trend points towards a more physical experience. With virtual and augmented reality, gaming has moved away from just sitting at your desk to a physical activity. It’s, therefore, not a huge surprise to find out that these physical games are looking to incorporate collaboration.
