First thoughts

Whilst writing my essay for last year, I realised that there was a lot more I wanted to research and say on the subject of digital games in schools. So while I was writing my last essay, I began to put aside topics and areas that I could further research for my final year's essay. I was also lucky enough to be granted interviews with people that I had found while doing my research.

The areas I wanted to look into further were...

* Learning styles: Visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Howard Gardener (12 multiple intelligences), Tina Bruce, Piaget.

* Didactic teaching.

* BibleBytes

* David Cameron on ICT.

* James Barrett: Kent ICT – Interview

* Katie Salen: Quest 2 Learn - Interview

* Questionairre

* Teaching styles

More specifically I wanted to look at the psychologies of child learning and how these are effected by using digital games. I hoped to prove at least in theory that digital games had a positive impact and were a extremely beneficial teaching tool.
