These two weeks had been different. Very different and very exciting. These two weeks there’s game-based learning! It was very fun since I love to play games myself. There were 5 stations. Each station have different types of games. My favourite will have to be Wii sports because it is very physical. I can move about freely, it is very competitive and I love the feeling of victory. I guess that is partly why I joined teaching since teaching requires a lot of movement and each day will be a challenge and the joyous feeling of fulfillment when everything planned are achieved.
It is a very interesting class since we are allowed to explore the games first before going through the ‘drier’ part of explaining what game-based learning is. It will make more sense since we have experience it hands on.
How I can incorporate this in my teaching? Maybe I’ll take the idea of letting my students explore the topic first before going through the theoretical part of the topic as it will make more sense to them.

Ah, you have uncovered one of the game-like instructional strategies: Experiential and context-based learning.
