For my blog I would like to focus on Educational games. I want to explore how games are designed to educate people of all different ages, depending on the game, about different subjects, cultural and historical events and how the effect the player. Then I want to explore the many different mediums used to educate people such as computer games, board games, and physical interactive games and so on.
I want to explore how videogame developers learn to balance the educational needs of their target audience with the appropriate amount of entertainment value. The developers of educational video games refers to the games as edutainment. “The hope is that the child will have fun and forget that they’re learning, but still maintain the knowledge they pick up while playing.”-adultlearn.com. Then I will look into the different and various types of boardgames and how they compare and differ to the video games. Then I will look into the games that have been made up and are played by children with out set written rules and regulations. Then to add some fun into the blogs I will be exploring the different kinds of games played by children from all over the world and how they can relate to the children from America as well as how the games are socially and culturally linked.
