What interested you in video games as a form of teaching?
Truthfully, nothing initially interested me in video games as a form of teaching. I applied for the Kenan Fellowship under the HI FIVES program, not really knowing what to expect. I proposed an idea based on modeling in the development of atomic theory which has been revised several times to mesh successfully with the construction of the video game.
Overall, my experience with the HI FIVES project has been positive, and I would now say that video games can be effective in science teaching due to the natural motivation, interset, and excitement generated in students with respect to playing video games. I suppose this makes me a skeptical convert to the camp of teaching with video games. I need more experience with the HI FIVES project and the actual experience of teaching with video games to feel more comfortable with the whole process as well as make a reasonable assessment of its effectiveness.
