Gaming In My 60's

What you see is actual gameplay of just how bad I am using an Xbox controller and a keyboard! As I sit here, controller in hand, I can't help but reflect on my gaming history. I've been playing video games for decades, ever since Pong hit shelves back in 1972. I was only 10 years old at the time, but I was immediately hooked. From there, I moved on to play on a variety of different platforms, Nintendo, Dreamcast, Playstation, Genesis, Xbox, and various handheld units. But, my true love has always been PC gaming. I started playing PC games in the mid-1990s and continued to do so until around 2013, that's when my PC died. Recently, my son upgraded to the Xbox Series S and gave me his Xbox One. But, as much as I enjoy playing on a console, I have to admit that I prefer the PC over a console any day. With a keyboard and mouse, I know that I will be able to dominate in the games I play. And now, with my new PC, I will be able to play both Xbox and PC games to my heart's content.

Once I was alerted to the concept of "hard fun" I began listening for it and heard it over and over. It is expressed in many different ways, all of which all boil down to the conclusion that everyone likes hard challenging things to do. But they have to be the right things matched to the individual and to the culture of the times. These rapidly changing times challenge educators to find areas of work that are hard in the right way: they must connect with the kids and also with the areas of knowledge, skills and (don\'t let us forget) ethic adults will need for the future world.
