My Project

Students will use controllers to play through various genres of video games as they study the music of these games. They will be able to identify and discuss the impact that game music has on gameplay. Currently, we have some controllers, 20 iMacs, and headphones. As of now, when going over new concepts in the curriculum, I usually have to just find a video play-through .

With these PS4 controllers, students will be able to live the game experience and it will have a more meaningful impact on their understanding of the most profitable form of entertainment in the world.

It is one thing to talk about and show videos of the game we are learning about, but it is completely more immersive and engaging when the students get to experience it for themselves. Thank you for considering this project!
