“There is still little research on whether students ultimately absorb information better by playing games. “I actually think reading is pretty great and can compete with video games easily,” said Mark S. Seidenberg, a professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison who specializes in reading research. “So rather than say, ‘Oh, books are irrelevant in the modern era because there are all these other media available,’ I would ask shouldn’t we be doing a better job of teaching kids how to read?” Some gaming advocates suggest that video games may help with that. The reading that gamers do in instructional manuals, strategy guides or message boards, though often cryptic and more technical than narrative, might serve as a “gateway drug for literacy,” said Constance Steinkuehler, an assistant professor in the school of education also at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.” • #проигры - × × ×
