It
surprised me that more of the games played are played by women instead of men. Considering that most of the games played in
my house are by the guys. On both sides of my family, it is the guys
consistently that play more games. The article
states that 38% are played by women.
The
only games available when I was young was Atari. I played it some but never really spent too
much time with it.
It is important that we encourage
children to play games as this will only support the concept of using
technology. In hopes that teachers will
jump onboard the idea that games support technology use and encourage creative
technology ideas.
I also think it is important to support video game play because like sports they support the development of teamwork! An important 21st century skill!
