Studying the trends that are listed in the article by Dr. Ian Gibson (2008), it is apparent that change is a given for education as we know it. In the not so distant future educators will look back on this point in time and see the existence of trends that were not even visualized. It is important as educators to make ourselves more aware of possible, and likely future developments in e-learning, and also dream of the developments we could envision.

Who would of thought when I was playing Atari with my uncle that games would be seen as a possible future for education. The social aspect of gaming is underrated and you did a nice job of pulling from experts to back that claim up. Obviously change is a part of life and yet educators seem to distance themselves from embracing it. I know that gaming has been an eye opening experience for you and you are a better educator because of it. I challenge you to continue and make others aware so that we can get gaming mainstream in public education.
