Learning and games... I prefer a dream than a game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNfPdaKYOPI&feature=youtu.be
Learning cannot always be a game ... Learning can be a great mental
effort incompatible with games ... But ... Sometimes learning happens in dreams
while sleeping (a dream seems like a real interactive game…).
Our free brain (sleep) is faster than our conscious brain (awake). Our
brain reaches conclusions while we sleep, because while we are awake and aware,
it seems that we do not have the courage (not dare) ... Courage to take that
quantum leap ... This feeling is better than a real game!
But we can find a compromise between games (entertainment) and learning
(serious). There may be a dialectic between life, learning and play ... We can
relate the learning content and functioning of a game: A game that is
attractive must have achievable goals, prizes (level up), etc.. Students would
feel more engaged and motivated they felt that learning was processed in the
same way. Throughout life we getting more information and knowledge, through
everything that surrounds us, and the LIFE, EDUCATION can be seen as a GAME we
playing real-time all days of our lifes...

The Campbell communication was really great! All the questions of
"opening education" were highlighted and discussed in a very
sensitive way. Learning and teaching is not a simple process... Transform the
excess of information around us in useful knowledge is difficult enterprise...
We have to be open minded to be successful with the opening education,
we have to be poetic, philosophic, holistic... almost go on a metaphysic
journey - "Open learning is a journey of exploration"...
Makes
me remember Álvaro de Campos (Fernando Pessoa heterony):
"Sentir
tudo de todas as maneiras,
Viver
tudo de todos os lados,
Ser a
mesma coisa de todos os modos possíveis ao mesmo tempo,
Realizar
em si toda a humanidade de todos os momentos
Num
só momento difuso, profuso, completo e longínquo."
“To feel everything in every way
To live everything from every side
To be the same thing every way possible at the same time,
To realize within oneself all of humanity from every moment
In a single diffused, profuse, complete and far away moment."
