Pretty much none.
I've never understood why people think gaming or play ever forms the justification or basis for learning. Decade of nonsensical "gamification" studies has had zero effect no matter what Jane McGonigal says.
Might get an interest or passion going but it has near-zero lasting educational value.
- ossreality 12y agoWhat a stupid fucking comment. They're implementing programming logic in the game, as children. What a moron.
- ANTSANTS 12y agoThere's zero educational value in designing and building digital circuits by hand? What?
- shawn-butler 12y agoNot zero. Near zero. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overjustification_effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overjustification_effect for a summary And quit downvoting.
- chandler5555 12y agoI think there's a difference between "gamification", i.e. doing tasks for currency, points or prizes, and "video gaming", i.e. creating a circuit so that your house door in Minecraft opens with a switch.
