    This source is a mixed methods because it uses both qualitative and quantitive within it. this article try to explain why this generation uses video games or games in general within education. The simple answer to that was to keep up with the today. Everything is evolving so why not evolve the way we teach and learn. The article gives plenty of examples trying to explain it using real life scenarios. The Author discusses the potential of video games to revolutionize education by enhancing learning and engagement. 

    This article relates to the reading reactions because it discusses how games are in education and how it should evolve with its students and the generation. This article describes how they are being used and so does 1 of the reading reaction articles. I believe I picked a perfect article that fits with the rest. they all discuss about the same information. yet some of what the 3 articles discuss a lot of is computers/internet within education, but its intertwined with how games can impact learning.

Ed Tech Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Dylan McDonald, and I’m excited to share a bit about myself. I’m originally from Lemoore, California, where I developed a love for working out, cooking, and building LEGO creations. Currently, I wrestle for Minot State University as the starting 125-pounder and also serve as a student representative for SACC. I recently completed my bachelor’s degree and am now pursuing my master’s. My journey to Minot was driven by the opportunity to receive an excellent education alongside a wrestling scholarship. While I’ve embraced this new chapter of my life, adjusting to the cold North Dakota weather has been challenging—I often find myself missing the 100-degree days back in California, not to mention my family. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I’m looking forward to making the most of my time here at Minot State!

       This week's readings really opened my eyes as I didn't realize how much I used hypertext in the past in school and everyday life. I find hypertext to be a great tool for students to use especially for projects needing a lot of information and external sources. This is a way to learn about certain things within an article that can help them discover a deeper meaning of anything. Using hyper links can help expand our thinking and create a useful tool for all.       The question asked in my head a lot was why are these hypertexts important and useful to us now and here is what I found to wander that question, Hypertexts allow us to access information easier swell as find different sources needed without the manual labor of going and searching of them. Hypertexts also  make it a lot easier to organize large amounts of information like  Websites, blogs, and digital encyclopedias which rely on these hypertext to categorize and connect i...
