Škola hrou, hra školou...

Kids who have grown up with video games, Gamers, are self-educating. They seek out and learn from the information that is available to them. They do not rely on formal educational settings for their learning. The gamers’ learning style:

• Ignores any hint of formal instruction. They are self-directed learners.
  
• Includes trial and error and approaching a problem from different angles.
  
• Relies heavily on learning from peers with a distrust of information from authorities.
  
• Focuses on small, focused bits of information
  
• Demands just-in-time information. They don’t want to learn about what they might need.
  
• Is not focused on books and reading.

So while they may look lazy and self-absorbed while sitting in front of the TV playing a video game, they are actually learning valuable skills for the information age. We should all be paying attention.
