Standard: TL-II Planning and Designing Learning Environments and Experiences
Educational technology leaders plan, design, and model effective learning environments and multiple experiences supported by technology. C:1. identify technology resources and evaluate them for accuracy and suitability based on content standards.

 

Assignment: For this assignment I had to test out different educational games and evaluate them.

Reflection: This assignment was difficult. Too many times we don’t look deep enough into educational games to make sure they are actually educational. This assignment really challenged me to assess the value of each of the different educational games and make sure that it aligned with the Oklahoma PASS standards for the age group. I don’t see many classroom teachers going through this process before selecting games for their students. This is where a good teaching and learning department or curriculum specialist need to step in and make sure that the game being purchased is best for the curriculum.
