Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Students that qualify for Gifted and Talented services in my classroom typically are academically proficient (or advanced).
These students could, however, use support in several other executive functioning skill areas.
This Nintendo - Switch system and game supports self-awareness and understanding of our own actions, thoughts and feelings. In this game, players can see their progress in each of the five Brain Academy subjects including memorization, thinking, identification, computation, and analysis. With the graph provided on the main screen, players can appraise their performance to identify and describe which areas they need more practice in and the areas in which they excel. By understanding their own weaknesses in the game, players can work to improve these areas and gain a better brain weight.
This project will also assist with focus and getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks. Their "brain weight" depends on how well they do in each of the game's five categories. To increase their brain weight, players must be persistent and dedicated, revisiting completed activities in order to improve their proficiency and do well enough to earn better medals. Without determination and patience, players may remain at a stagnant brain weight, depriving themselves the sense of accomplishment that comes with earning gold medals and achieving a heftier brain weight.
The project will also help students strengthen their working memory as they are recalling and retaining information while working. Working memory skills can help players recall information learned from previous attempts or recall and reuse good strategies. This helps them complete activities faster and with less effort such as when players rapidly recall the denominations of coins used in one mode that they need to add up promptly. Additionally, good working memory skills are invaluable to solving math problems quickly and accurately, making it easier to mentally work with numbers and solve equations on the spot.
