I read "School as A Video Game" by Will Richardson this article matters because it talks about video games being the future of our schools. Video games becoming part of our schools might really lower the laziness in American schools.  This matters to me because everyone views video games as a time waster and unconstructive to the learning environment. This matters to me because who wouldn't want to play video games all day instead of sit in a class from for an hour and listen to a teacher give a lecture.? "School as A Video Game" matters to education because students would be able to learn through a digital environment. Also teacher would have to adapt to new learning styles. This matters to education because it would open up a new field of study and new jobs that would help our economy improve. Once I graduate from college I will probably be working in a job that doesn’t exist right know. This article matters to the world because it says that video games would become helpful to education. This could change how every nation in the world teachers their students. The one thing I don't know about is will it be for better or for worse? "School as A Video Game" is an idea that is far away from our times but maybe not our younger generation of students, this article matters because it would change how teachers teach, students learn, create more jobs, and change the world as we know it..
