James Gee on games and learning: In this video clip the discussion of a good theory of games and learning was mentioned to enrich learning systems by creating games that involves all genders and age levels. These games would present new forms of learning in and out of schools. The idea is for kids to become productive at a younger age.

Weekly Struggles/Accomplishments
I have struggled so much trying to get an idea of what topic to do my video on. I have finally made a decision and am in the process of putting it all together, thats my accomplishment for this week.
Voicethread
I watched a video clip on the uses of voicethread. It seems to take text to the next level. Not only can you include the text but you can also include voice and media along with being able to draw on top of the media in order to explain your slides better. From the looks of the tutorial I feel that if you follow the steps it should be particularly easy to use.
