Where Imagination Can Take You

It really is quite amazing how one person or a group of people can dream up a concept, work on it for several years, make improvement upon improvement, and then make the dream a reality. This, in and of itself, would be a great example of what a positive and outstanding work ethic really is. I believe that our students of today need to be schooled on this subject, even to quite a large extent as this mentality is somewhat lacking! Additionally, the connection between the spore game and the content areas of science is quite straightforward, but for some of the other academic disciplines, I think it will be a little bit more of a stretch, even though I'm sure it could be done. I love the final comment made in the second video on the science behind the game; people will think of the world differently as a result of playing this game. If indeed this is true, then I think all students should have some interaction with this game during class time. Also, every teacher, in my eyes, has the obligation to emphasize the importance of being good, solid citizens within their communities, and if this philosophy can somehow be reinforced by interacting with this game, then I'm all for it!
