Growing popularity of playing video games

Eleven teachers from the IISS «Fermi» in Lecce received training on the topic of video games and their infinite possibilities in the educational world. The growing popularity of video games use in education is based on the belief that video games can:

Video games have the potential to be valuable educational tools. Their immersive and interactive nature can engage students in ways that traditional teaching methods often fail to do. From strengthening problem-solving skills to promoting critical thinking and teamwork, video games offer endless possibilities within the field of education. Moreover, they can make learning enjoyable, turning topics that may seem challenging into exciting challenges. By harnessing the educational potential of video games, teachers can use a new and dynamic approach to engage and inspire students in their learning processes.

What is "Scratch?"

The idea of the training was for participants to learn the fundamental principles of programming and integrate them into their teaching methodologies. Furthermore, the main focus of the training was on online tools such as Scratch, which make it possible to create video games easily, simply and intuitively.In fact, Scratch is a visual programming environment that does not require knowledge of the more complicated structured constructs typical of programming languages. Therefore It can also be used byeveryone: children, teenagers, students but above all teachers who are approaching the fascinating world of programming for the first time.
