Virtual Learning

The blog I read titled Video Games and Science is about how kids are learning skills you need in the real world through playing video games. It talks about how in role playing games kids have to choose what items to make and sell to help the character through the game. Kids are learning what to sell to make the most money and what price to sell these things at. This relates to the real world because there is always competition in the trading market and you always have to know what is the right price to sell what you have at. I think this is a good way of teaching kids because it is educational and a fun way of learning. I use to play games like this and they taught me alot about selling stuff and how to look for good prices to buy things at. This helped me in the real world because I knew how to save money by buying things that were on sale and saving my money for things I really wanted later in life. Even though i don't still play these kind of games it still has helped me alot in life. It has helped me learn alot and these skills will hopefully help me later in life when I have a job and when I need to start saving for college, a car or even a house. Kids should use these skills they learn to their advantage for the real world because they can help them succeed.
