my teams topic

My teams topics are integrity and game based learning. I think game based learnig is very importand and i will talk about that most. Game based learning is great in so many ways. This type of learning allows kids to get away from a pen, piece of paper, and a lectuer, and do something hands on. Its always good to swith things up and it adds fun and a different environment in the classroom. The horizon report says that children learn best when the game is goal oriented. Almost every kid, no matter what age is competitive. no matter what it is, you know that kid is will to do anything to win. Studies say that kids tend to try harder if the game is goal oriented. Also to go with games, kids tend to like in groups. this can help with communication skills. they must all work together to come up with an awnser. To go with this is integrity, integrity to me is having courage, to be honest, and to stand up for what you believe in to matter what. This can go with game based learning because in every group there must be a leader. if a kid has intregrity, he is more likely to take charge and be a good standout student. These two are different, but can go together very well
