When asked to bring in a game for class Wednesday I thought that it was going to be a strange class. Out of the many possible thoughts that were streaming through my mind, all I could think about was possibly bringing in Apples to Apples which is my favorite game. But sadly I left it at home in Clemmons so that game was totally out of the picture. Shortly after watching Lacy's video I knew the game that I would bring to class would be Minecraft. I have never actually played this game but when you give your phone to a 7 year old things like this end up on your phone. The more I test the game out the more I like it.
I was able to relate the game activities to the Hanging Out article, not through my own experience but through the eyes of my cousin who is seven years old and very into games like Minecraft. I was noticing through the stimulation of this particular game he was gaining a lot of insight and strengthening his motor and intellectual skills. This game provides you with the ability to determine your life in the game and you also must find ways to survive against the enemies within the game.

It's very interesting to see that you was able to use a younger victim of Minecraft because the younger they are, the more we can see how much digital media can influence or test youth. It seems like he was learning a lot too. Nicee post!

Good post, it was cool to see how even someone so young can play and learn from this game.
