One thought on “Ali Carr-Chellman: Gaming to re-engage boys in learning”
Find this quite challenging.
I wish there were more about what kind of games could be developed, not just that they are needed.
Should a distinction be made between games of violence and games of pushing/shoving/tumbling?
Boys seem very physical. Is there a problem she doesn’t mention – that there is a taboo about touch. Maybe boys need more physical contact with each other and with adults than is allowed. It has often struck me that fighting is simply a means to make physical contact with other humans.
