I love games – whether they are board or video, they are
important elements in my leisure time. I
have seen many students playing both varieties of games in the school resource
centre, ranging from chess (both off and online) with resources provided by the
school library to HALO played on student owned laptops just using the wireless
facilities of the library. This range of experience is only observed in out of
formal class settings (sometimes in class but not with permission!) Therefore,
my personal observations seem to match some of the research that suggests that
there is a gap between play and learning; a gap between in school versus out of
school experiences.
