The new paradigm for gaming and simulation in schools will help a majority of those students that would have the continued issued of failing in our academic system. With the innovation of education as expressed in these videos shown on the web page you see the direction education is going. The device shown in the beginning of the film that could relay the message that a student may be uninterested in a topic would save a lot of academic mishaps due disinterest in certain subject matter and would allow for a teacher or facilitator of a class to go about teaching in a different more interesting or entertaining manner. Also, when they addressed the program that would change to fit what kind of learner you may whether be visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. In order to find a students path to success we have to address how they learn at their individual capacity whatever that be. We can not all sit and read a text. Then go on to be successful in a standardized test. I do not however feel we are ready for such an advance to education because of the state we are currently in still working in classrooms using text and dry erase boards to educate. However we are moving towards a technology based academia. In the video this issue is addressed but it is stated that we are far away from getting to the point where technology facilitates a majority of academic learning. This is due to the financial part of getting to support all education settings. I think this will help all those involved teacher and students. It will allow for all students to learn in a way where they can reach their full academic potential also it will alleviate the stress teachers have on making sure all students are learning. Not all students learn the same way a lesson may be facilitated to a class.
