Reflections from the Exhibition Evening

In the Exhibition Evening everyone got a reflection, to reflect what they learnt from each project. There were probably over 100 reflections that we received, these are some of our favorite reflections for our group.

• Something I learnt is that lots of students play violent games and very inappropriate things not for children. I was Impressed with the amount of effort they put in to teach us. 
• Something I learnt is that violent games are bad for your education and for your eyes. I was impressed with how the spoke loudly.
• Something I learnt is that violent games should stop because when you play violent video games you will want to get better and violent games also changes you behavior. I was impressed with how they had a loud voice and I learnt a lot from their presentation and really liked it.
• Something I learnt is that people can get REALLY addicted to video games. I was impressed with their video's, how the communicated and gave a lot of information.
• Something I learnt that they felt very different about gaming after researching. I was impressed with their passion for educating.
• Something I learnt is that kids spend to long playing violent games. I was impressed with the amount of information they had and the layout was very neat. 
• Something I learnt is that violent video games lead to having a violent behavior. I was impressed with their E.C.A 'Educational Video Games' and how they are trying to teach young children not to play violent video games.
• Something I learnt and was shocked be the number of  hours kids spend playing violent video games. I was impressed with the technology set up, their presentation and that they were confident speakers. 
• Something I learnt is that over 9 people play violent video games for 10 or more hours per week, and violent video games makes people  bad, E.g. having underdeveloped-communication skills. I was impressed with the amount of effort they put into their presentation without teacher's help.

Our New ECA!

We have started our action and one of them is an ECA (Extra Curricular Activity). In our ECA we will be teaching students from year 1-3 about educational games. We have made an edmodo group (edmodo is an educational site where teachers and students can communicate at any time) where we will post the games that we are teaching the students. If you want to see our progress in our ECA join our Edmodo group. The code is: ge5edu.

Our Update

We have written a survey for students in the primary and secondary section. Our survey is on survey monkey and we have a variety of different questions for the students. We have also stapled our title and our questions on the board. We are going to each year group to ask the students to answer the the survey.
