I was watching Turner Classic Movies. They played Buck Privates and M.A.S.H. back to back. Which means I now officially have more military experience than Donald Trump. --Jimmy Dore 6/3/16
You know I haven't joked about Chris Christie since he dropped out of the race to spend more time with his family style meals. --Jimmy Dore 6/3/16
I hope everybody had a fun Halloween. I heard that this year Hillary Clinton dressed up as a Democrat. --Jimmy Dore 11/4/16
I have been working on a paper for the Education Market. The paper talks about using video games as a teaching tool for children with learning disabilities. The age demographic would be 8 to 18. Games could be up to the teacher or student to select. Games might include soccer, football, basketball, etc.
Students could learn about various historical or fictional characters and create them as players for their team. It would allow the student to study history, philosophy, religion, sports, popular culture, etc. and then create the characters to be a part of their team. The students would even be able to play alongside their created characters.
On some of the teams historical figures like Martin Luther King, and Abraham Lincoln will play on the same team with authors like Ernest Hemingway and William Shakespeare, or Elvis Presley and Tupac Shakur.
The process is meant to be a simple and fun way for kids to learn subjects such as world history, literature, poetry, art, music, science and vocabulary. Maybe PS4/XBOX machines might be donated or discounted to schools for these classes. More on the paper as it is fleshed out. Enjoy the simulations.
Also for sentimental reasons, some fallen friends and family are on this team. Semper Fi. May you rest in peace.
