This document discusses learning games and the millennial generation. It recommends an approach to learning games that emphasizes authentic contexts, activities, and assessments based on real world outcomes. It also recommends games that allow for interactions and activities not possible in the real world, while requiring information recall, comprehension, and application. Finally, it recommends emphasizing human-to-human computer mediated communication, interaction and learning.

- 30. Recommendation #1: Increase emphasis on evaluating the effectiveness of new learning technologies and approaches to designing and implementing such systems. Use an adaptive learning approach that integrates real world problems, data, processes and systems; empirical research and human performance; and instructional design and delivery. The key is to integrate empirical research into the design and implementation of new modes of learning in order to inform future selection and variation of learning systems. This requirement is also shared by the US Department of Education (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) in its efforts toward educational reform especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Editor's Notes
- (1) Increased scope of the Internet to include devices, systems and processes that were previously not networked (2) Miniaturization and integration of self-powered sensors with computation and communication capability to form a new class of computing—“motes” (Intel) (3) Increased transparency of these devices, systems and processes and (4) internetworking of these devices, systems and processes across institutions (government, education, military, industry, etc.).
- “Although we often hear about the reasons kids should not play video games, there is, indeed, a positive correlation between video gaming and increased hand-eye coordination, reaction time, spatial visualization, neuro-psychological tests, visual attentiveness and mental rotation,” says Dr. Rosser. “Those are all skills that are required to be a successful surgeon.”A study conducted at Beth Israel Medical Center by Dr. Rosser, found a significant correlation between video game experience and proficiency at laparoscopic surgery. According to the study, surgeons who currently play or previously played video games had a 37 percent reduction in errors and accomplish laparoscopic surgical tasks 27 percent quicker. “The studies confirm what some physicians have long suspected – video games can be natural teachers,” says Dr. Mogel. “However, this probably has been unintended by the game designers.”
- The careers are ordered by priority. Design-related fields are at the top fo the chart for both females and males. Males in middle school are described in the literature as being more likely to have interests that could be labeled “fantasy careers’ or “glamour careers.”
- The most important thing to understand about Whyville really, is that it’s a place full of kids. It’s a virtual city that belongs to the kids who come from all over the world to have fun. The kids consider this their own town, and they call themselves Whyvillians. To become a Whyvillian, you create a Whyville persona. In this screen, and every other screen you’ve already seen, for example, each face is a Whyville citizen. To become a Whyville citizen, you create a persona, the most important aspect of which is your face. You can see here that the faces are varied and very creative. Here’s an amoeba. Here’s someone driving a car. Here is someone wearing a style known as ‘Goth’. The ungliest citizens you see around are in fact us, the city workers.
