Gaming+Project

Your assignment is to defend the use of gaming in schools. This project can be broken down into four parts, in no particular order:
 * 1) Find a video game. The only requirement is that it must be freely available - in other words it must be either free to play online, or free to download, install, and play offline.
 * 2) Integrate this video game into your classroom curriculum.
 * 3) Find research that supports your game, either specifically or in a more broad sense.
 * 4) Think of five questions that parents may have about the use of games in your classroom, and answer them specifically and intelligently.

You must present all of this information as though you were presenting it to the administration of your school. Write this "paper" on a new page in your wiki, and link to it from the projects page. As always, this project is due Sunday at 4 PM (specifically, this Sunday, November 2). This project will not be graded using the traditional rubric - instead, I will use the following:
 * Is there a link to the game?
 * Is there educational value in the game?
 * Does it fit into your overall curriculum goals? (What is its purpose should be included here)
 * (2 POINTS) Do you have a credible reference that you used to support your argument? (Either for games in general, or for your specific game) [|CNN article does not count]
 * (5 POINTS) Do you have 5 well-thought out answers to 5 possible parental objections?

Your presentation to the administration must be written professionally, and will be graded as such.
