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.
