Dear Mr. Warlick,
In your post “Minecraft in Pender” it made me think about how we could work video games into the education of kids.  I feel that the way America is becoming increasingly focused on video games, especially with youth, it might be time we started incorporating things like this into learning at a young age.  The whole idea of “video games for learning” could completely change the way people start thinking of them because they would be less incorporated with wasting time and closer related to progress.  This affects me as a young learner because I am constantly distracted by video games and with that I have less passion for school.  If in the future there was a way that we combined learning and video games I feel that there would be more motivation and less dread for school.
