The computer/video games industry is nearly as profitable and
popular as the film industry. Computer game making can help build
students’ story telling skills. It helps encourage cooperative
learning and engages students in problem solving and higher order
thinking. It can be a multi-disciplinary exercise – developing a
good game can involve composing music, script writing, story
development, physics, visual arts, spatial arts and more.
As the game design process involves students drawing on their
multiple intelligences, it often provides students who are typically
not good at school with a chance to see themselves as capable
members of the classroom learning community.
