Mrs. Hoffman's PARCC PBA Research Simulation Task (RST)

Before we get started giving each other feedback, here are some issues that I'm seeing generally within your class responses to today's CR:

Here is a summary of your in-class debate using information from both articles:

	For Video Games in Education	Against Video Games in Education
Closing	Student from article ended up being successful with straight A’s and might help people with autism gain more awareness…go games CAN help people learn	Games like Minecraft don’t help people learn because they aren’t realistic…and are instead too violent—so games aren’t good for learning.
1	It’s been found that video games can help kids with social disorders have more social skills	Kids don’t follow directions, unneeded, too tempting (?)
2	Video games can expand the mind to get newer and better ideas	Come to school to learn, not goof off, video games hurt your eyes which will get in the way of learning for the rest of the day
3	Can teach you how to build and can teach you survival skills	Can video games make drawing, design, and teaching obsolete?
4	Video games are a workout for the brain…which might be able to help people with limited brain capacity	There’s enough time to play video games at home
5		Not everyone can learn using technology because of physical issues or injuries…
		Kids get too hyper and distracted about beating the game they won’t be able to focus on other things
		Schedule-wise, playing video games wouldn't work because of everything else in the curriculum
		Access to inappropriate materials (?)
		Learning a new language is better for your brain than video games
		Just another way for people to bully each other
		Games with violence brainwash people to be violent and don’t teach you anything and are a waste of time…

Let's see how well this class can follow directions...
