Descripción de Episode #91: A Video Game Education

Joined this week by staff guests Stardust and Cat~, Misty, libregkd, and Calxiyn sit down this week to discuss gaming's potential as an educative tool! We begin, as always, with Kingdom Hearts news and updates, which this week include speculation on Square Enix Germany's Facebook tease (it has since been revealed to be a smartphone port of Kingdom Hearts X[chi]). From there we launch into our topic for the day, inspired by the recent PlayStation Plus offering, Kisima In?itchu?a (or Never Alone) a 2D puzzle/platformer that aims to highlight and share the culture of the Alaskan native Iñupiat culture. We cover how games can actively teach things like problem-solving skills, reflexes, critical thinking, and more, and how they have affected our development as both children and adults, and finally, how video games are an emerging artistic and educational medium. As per usual, we answer user-submitted questions! Quilligan sticks us in the animal kingdom, while Graxe exercises his wordplay and challenges our Star Wars fan cred. We also plug our E3 coverage plans, which we hope you all will be excited about! Please support and participate in the KH-Vids Podcast by leaving us a comment, answering our user-submitted questions, submitting to be a guest, or sending in questions of your own -- and have a Kingdom Hearts day! http://kh-vids.net/threads/episode-91-a-video-game-education.150258/
