Interesting point of view of gaming in Education in this article. I guess it is a good time to think about games in our classroom as we can now have huge access to them via personal technologies. I was not sure what this person was really concerned about gaming or (sticker) rewards. Good to have a discussion about though as it comes down to your basic beliefs about learning. I think there is a place for gaming depending on how they are handled and why the students are doing them. If you really want to get thinking follow the link from the article to Ian Bogost's comment. (no - I had not heard of him either :-)
Stickers.... hmmm that could be another discussion. I know of a Principal of a new school who told me he would not initially employ any teacher who used stickers! What are your thoughts on that view?
