Imagine for a moment a world wherelearning takes place not through the dusty pages of ancient books, but via the dynamic, interactive world of video games. This futuristic vision is not so far off... That's why the Cité des sciences et de l' industrie is hosting a conference entitled Une manette dans le cartable on Saturday January 27, 2024, starting at 2:30pm. This third episode in the second season of the Video Game Focus asks a bold question: can video games revolutionize the way we learn?
At the heart of this captivating debate, the event will highlight the often underestimated aspects of video games: their immersive power and interactivity. The presence of experts such as history-geography teacher Romain Vincent and clinical psychologist Vanessa Lalo promises enriching exchanges on the pedagogical potential of video games. These discussions will address the crucial question: can controllers, as leisure tools, be transformed into leading educational instruments in our schools?
The event is more than just a conference. It offers an interactive experience where the public can watch demonstrations and share experiences with industry professionals. Each Focus jeux vidéo is an opportunity to go behind the scenes of an ever-evolving industry and discuss topical issues, from societal impacts to technological advances. For those unable to attend in person, please note that the session will be broadcast live on the Cité des Sciences YouTube channel, and will remain available as a replay on the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie website.
In short, an invitation to rethink education and explore new frontiers in learning... Whether you're an educator, a parent, or simply curious about how video games can shape the future of education, you now know where to go! Shall we break out the controllers, folks?
