I'm a brand new student in the university of Rennes1 in biology, international section. I'm in group 2 ans my teacher is Miss. Bathia.
This year, I want to improve my listening and understanding skills, ut I also want to enlarge my vocabulary.
Here is my first work : keep this logbook fed with informations and opinions about serious games.]]> 2021-10-13 12:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1813745073 My own kahoot quizz! (10.13.21) dagornggaelle https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1813789973 During the past few days, I've been creating my personal Kahoot game. Indeend, in order to enlarge my vocabulary baggage, I've decided to elaborate a translation quizz. It was not as simple as I thought it woukd be, but it was quite fun to search for intresting words to learn about.]]> 2021-10-13 12:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1813789973 What is a learning game? (27.10.21) dagornggaelle https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935522010 Apparently, a learning game is often created by grown ups in order to be used for teaching and learning. It is designed for an educational purpose.
It can teach some specific subjects like maths, English, Geography,... or skills such as memory, logic, rigor, understanding skills,... .

This article is very interesting in addition to being quite consequant.
I would give it 3.5 stars on 5 because, on one hand, it was gripping but on the other hand, extremely long so I thought that it was not so easy to stay focus until the end of the article.
I thought it was fascinating because I learnt ofr instance, where most of the studies about serious games are carried out, what capacities/subjects can we learn about (for example : management, business, maths,...), what are the results of the studies about learning games  : "Serious gaming, especially given the context of enthusiastic students, has proved to be an effective training method in domains such as medical education, for example, in clinical decision-making and patient interaction".

But this way, with this game, I find it way more interesting because it's interractive.
Moreover, I learnt the same of Europe countries in English (I didn't know all of them), so my vocabulary increased (and I think knowing the names of the countries can be really usefull).
It is a very nice way to learn geography.]]> 2021-12-08 10:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935573034 Game 4 (12.8.21) [additional] dagornggaelle https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935605401 I found this game just a week before my terminal exam and it helped me a lot to learn my 20 amino acids!
I rate it 4.5/5 just because the amino acids molecules are not drawn the same way they are in my lesson so it was a little confusing at the begining but once I understood well, it was cool.
Great serious game.]]> 2021-12-08 11:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935605401 Article 2 (11.13.21) dagornggaelle https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935625314 "Learning with serious games: Is fun playing the game a predictor of learning success?"

For me, this article was kinf of fascinating because I read that, for children, the joy and excitement linked by a serious game is not only due to the game itself, but also by how the teacher (in a school environnement) bring it into the lesson, how they present it, the rules they indicate, etc.
I'd rate it 4/5 because of that.
I took of one point because it was long ans some data are not easy to understand if we are not totally focus on the article.

I managed to answer 28 questions (on 40) correctly so I think it means that I have a little vocabulary but I can improve my skills. An dI really want to. It was a fun way to evaluate myself.]]> 2021-12-08 13:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935804256 Game 3 (11.26.21) dagornggaelle https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935833966 As the one before, this test was great. 5/5!
I answered 22 questions correctly (on 24), I'm happy about it. But I thought that it was just a bit simple.
I would like to progress more.
In order to do so, I am going to watch films and series in English, first with English subtitles (what I already do) and then, without subtitles. I also would like to watch movies from different countries in order to get used to different accents (american, british, australian,...).]]> 2021-12-08 13:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935833966 Conclusion (12.6.21) dagornggaelle https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935885255 During this work, this semester, I learnt about what's called "serious games". I knew that serious game can be a fun way to learn a few things, but I didn't realise how many thing we can learn thanks to it. I knew that we could do some vocabulary test, or grammar ones, or that kids could learn the colors by playing games but I actually did not imagined that buisness could be learnt by playing games (of course not all of it, but a few basics) of anatomy, a little of medecine, geography and so on.
I also didn't know that not just the game we play is important, but the way it is brought to us (by teachers, for instance). Rules are very important too in order to play well.

I learnt about myself that I enjoy playing serious games, but not so much for learning properly speaking, but to revise things already more or less acquired.

About my personnal evaluation, I would say that it was not a topic I was passionate about so I did not put a 100% of myself in it, yet, I learnt many things and I was able to evaluate my English skills (I would not have the idea of doing it if I didn't look it for this work).]]> 2021-12-08 13:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dagornggaelle/ba3nektzajzbcxsv/wish/1935885255
