Gardens of Time #1

I was very excited to get the opportunity to play a game for one of my courses.  So my first immediate thought is that if I'm excited to play a game for school, then I would assume children would feel the same way.  I have really enjoyed playing the game so far.  I always enjoyed playing the game ISpy and this game had some similar qualities.  This game helps you focus on the details when you look at the bigger picture.  I think this could help students become more observant and gain more focus.  One of the aspects of the game that I found beneficial was using context clues to figure out some of the items.  I would save an item that I didn't know and use the hint option to zoom in and figure it out.  This game also brings out the competitive side in me.  I find myself playing everyday until I run out of energy.  I think that students could learn social skills from this game by competing and networking with each other.
