Abstract
This next generation of students has had exposure to digital media far more than any previous generation, particularly video games. Almost daily, news outlets report the latest news on the evils of video games, how much children are playing video games, the potential of video games, and the list just goes on. In this presentation, the researchers explore how pre-service teachers make sense of a commercially purchased video game and its role in classroom teaching.
