Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Game based learning has increased in popularity. There are endless video game characters who, surprisingly enough, awaken early vocations and teach history, geography and mathematics to millions of students. Students assimilate and retain information almost without noticing. Gaming also boosts motivation and keeps their interest in learning.

There are many benefits of video games include improved powers of concentration, creativity, memory, languages, and teamwork.

The benefits of video games have also reached education with game-based learning. The Sony Play Station and accessories will help provide my students with a teaching method that can be utilized to transmit knowledge. Gaming breathes life into education by transforming learning into an enjoyable lesson. This project will help to make learning fun!
