🎮What Video Games Have to 🎲Teach Us About Learning and Literacy📙

In this chapter, James Paul Gee concludes all the important facts that he explains throughout the book. Video games should not be taken lightly in terms of educating their participants. All games have a deeper meaning than just flashy lights and remarkable graphics used to entertain people.

Gee was able to provide multiple examples of how video games help engage people in learning through all types of principles. For example, video games have people learn in a sense of situated meanings, cultural models, and identity principles.

Situated meanings help people learn how to respond properly in a certain environment. With this principle, the act of forming strategies comes into effect. The identity principle of video games teaches players how to look at something from a different perspective. In games like Kingdom Hearts, you are able to play multiple characters with different goals.

Engaging players in this type of learning helps create a better understanding of their environment much more. The cultural meanings of video games help players gain knowledge while making progress in the game.

Completing the game helps them feel accomplished about what they’ve done in a sense of learning. Gee states “Games recruit smart tools, distributed knowledge, and cross-functional terms just like modern high-tech workplaces” (Pg.217). Video games are both interesting to play and helpful in brain development.

Nike's Influence on the Conformation of Society

There are many products of today that people tend to buy in order to “conform” themselves with the rest of society. Whether it’s the lower class, middle class, or upper class, there is always one product that strikes the mind of individuals. The product that I decided to focus this study on is NBA Nike brand shoes. Nike brand shoes can apply to all people but are most commonly found amongst the younger crowd of today. The other large competing brand, Air Jordan, resembles the exact same level of demand as Nike. There are multiple reasons why Nike appeals to the younger generation of today. The company is known highly for its inner connection with super sport athletes everywhere. Almost every commercial that Nike airs on television includes a well-known athlete wearing the clothing or shoes. From Basketball and Football to Soccer and Baseball, Nike always finds a way to make a name for themselves in every sport. This wou...

Nike Personified

Th ere are brands advertised to people every day, with more being thought up of every minute. With each brand advertised, there are multiple people who become attached to a certain brand, thus forming a sense of brand loyalty. I’ve come across a lot of brands in my life , tending to direct my loyalty towards a select few. However, there is a dominant brand that I have come to really affiliate myself with, “Nike” . According to the website of Nike, “Nike, Inc. is an American multinational corporation that is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing and sales of footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services”. With that being said, I feel like if this brand were to ever “ come to life ” , it would be more than just a single person. If the brand “Nike” ever came to life as a person, it would be in the form s of a man, a woman, a boy , and a girl, creating a Ni ke family. I feel that this is the appropriate incarnation to giv e the bra...
