Chapter 9 Rethinking Education

I like in the chapter that it suggests sitting with a child that plays video games and have them explain to you the purpose of the game while you ask questions in regards to the strategies used. I think this is a great way to gauge the way in which the children are focusing and using the games in their minds. I also like how it talks about getting kids involved in communities or groups of other kids that are interesting in the same thing they are where they can explore their curiosity, all while having a parent or adult mentor monitoring in the background of course. I was also happy that it talked about vocabulary development and the fact that many can acquire vocabulary at an accelerated rate when it is in a game form or in a meaningful context.
