Task One: Research Commission by 474753 Joel McRae - Student https://padlet.com/4747531/r4jzepkd2xpb Made with a little mischief en-us 2017-04-27 09:09:22 UTC 2017-06-28 09:21:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Potential Topics 4747531 https://padlet.com/4747531/r4jzepkd2xpb/wish/168582851 How video games can affect mental health.
This topic interests me the most because its something I feel doesn't get mentioned enough when it comes to how video games can be used to treat mental illness but also how they can in some cases cause them.

The impacts of VR headsets.
This is another interesting topic that I would like to research more into as its something massive that's happening in the games industry today. VR is being used across a huge magnitude of fields not only to do with games. Researching how it has began to be used for medical, scientific and military purposes and what the future might hold for VR would be interfering to write about for me.

The impacts of games in schools.
one of the harder to talk about topic I could use would be how games can be used in school's. And an interesting topic this may be I feel It could become difficult to write about as it's very to the point of games being designed to teach children new things instead of books.]]> 2017-04-27 09:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/4747531/r4jzepkd2xpb/wish/168582851 The impact of games in schools: SOURCE MATERIAL. 4747531 https://padlet.com/4747531/r4jzepkd2xpb/wish/175705575 The impact of console games in the classroom: https://www.nfer.ac.uk/publications/FUTL25/FUTL25.pdf

Is a superb article that I can write my dissertation around, with a wide range of reliable sources already in the article and a wide variety of points towards mental health as well as physical health.

In my dissertation I intend to study several articles for both positive and negative affects of video games. analyzing my findings carefully I then intend to carry out my own personal secondary research, conducting a quiz of sorts that I am going to ask to two separate groups of people.
One group will be my class from college, all of witch play games daily and have done so since they were a young age. the other group to my friends from outside the work place who very rarely play any sort of video game.

My questions will range from whether or not they have had any personal experiences of games affecting them all the way to their own bias opinions on the matter.]]> 2017-06-28 09:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/4747531/r4jzepkd2xpb/wish/177630954 The Affects Video Games Could Have on Mental Health: Feasibility Study 4747531 https://padlet.com/4747531/r4jzepkd2xpb/wish/177631741 The title I have chosen to write about and the source material I have already discovered has given me great foundations for me to build on my dissertation.

With plenty of research and articles for both sides of the argument I am extremely confident on how things will turn out. I feel this topic has given me a massive range of things to talk on and can be quite beneficial for my own learning gain.

I can also conduct my own private research that will give me even more backup when writing my summary and conclusion ]]> 2017-06-28 09:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/4747531/r4jzepkd2xpb/wish/177631741
