For example, before they set off in their ship they have to fill it with the things they are going to need. This requires them to calculate the area of the ship and how much they can manage to bring. Those who faced difficulty to progress in the game would come knocking on the staff room door and wouldn't let the teachers go until they were taught how to overcome them Students were invited to pick a character and go on a quest in which they have to make decisions about what to take and how to progress using mathematics and their literacy skills.

When I was 15 I was let to shoot a real gun at a firing range for the first time, and there they said I'm a natural. I did not let them help me with anything, I knew how to handle a gun.. which I learned from games…’ A quote taken from Youtube: ‘…some 9 year old are still afraid of their own shadow, not to talk about a gun.

- 23. Create opportunity forplay Curriculum time may not be sufficient for the use of computer games. Provide alternative places and time for students to play the game (e.g., at home or in an internet café). Create a community of practice for students. They can learn how to move on to higher levels in the game, from one another. Look out for opportunities to facilitate learning, like subtly providing hints on some skills pertaining to a subject.

Editor's Notes
- #4 After instructions have been read, presentor gives the cue Go! Other co presentators stand by at the respective groups to assist.
- #6 Picture depicts that video games promote literacy.
- #7 Like reading and writing, video games fall into a semiotic domain that involves a set of ways/ activities of doing things, thinking about things, valuing things and interacting with other people (social practices) It is multimodal- images, words, sounds, music, movement and body sensations interact with one another to create meanings
- #10 Effective video games offer strong identities - allow players to think in different roles - project their values and desires onto the virtual character by making use of the resources provided by the designer Players become producers and co-design the games with unique actions and decisions
- #17 By Jon Hurdle PHILADELPHIA | Fri Jan 9, 2009 8:56pm EST PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - The U.S. Army, struggling to ensure it has enough manpower as it fights wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, is wooing young Americans with videogames, Google maps and simulated attacks on enemy positions from an Apache helicopter.
- #18 The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has been capitalising on Modelling and Simulation (M&S) technologies for its simulation and training systems since the early 1980s. The primary focus in the initial years was on the training of soldiers, operators, gunners, pilots and commanders as individuals, or as members of combat teams. Last updated on 24 Apr 2010
- #22 Required level and nature of involvement. should assess whether the videogame player is passive or active. In some games, the computer plays the game while the participant watches the results. In computer-moderated games, the computer provides the environment for the game to occur and presents decisions or questions to the player at key points during the game. The computer then reveals the consequences of the decisions made by the player
- #23 Information and rules. Some games allow the player to have a range of knowledge and information about past experiences with the game. Others provide minimal amounts of information to the player. Part of the strategy may involve the player’s response to this lack of information. Rules and player participation in setting rules may vary among games
- #26 To be verbally said: For example, the ability to choose different solutions to a difficult problem and be able to see the effect of those decisions they have on a fictional game allows students to experiment with problem-solving in a relative safe virtual environment
