A curious position - can you tell me more about the source of this Leon?
If you are proposing a response to this kind of statement by looking at programming and gaming as pedagogical approaches, why would you not also respond by considering:
- exploiting movie archives,
- exploring authentic data,
- counter-factual simulation of historical events,
- simulated archaeology....?
>From my perspective none of these approaches (including gaming and programming) would be truly innovative, since they were all developed in the seventies and eighties using various ICTs - the speaker, I would suggest, shows a profound ignorance of history!
Nevertheless, there is a need to review the above listed approaches in the light of new technology opportunities, so more power to your elbow!
regards, Richard
