- 1(Opening) The past twenty years has seen massive change and progress in the world. Think about it, in 1998 cell phones were still very rare, the internet was only just catching on and self- driving cars were something you watch in movies. The internet has changed the way we do nearly everything, most people can’t do without their phones and social media has exploded. In the last twenty years, it is obvious that the world has changed A LOT! Well everything except the subjects we learn at school. The last time the school curriculum was fully revised was in the 1990s. Long before we were even born! The subjects we learn at school need to change along with the world. I propose out with Science and in with Gaming!2
The most important reason why we need to change subjects at school to include gaming is that Gaming teaches you teamwork and social skills.
Think about it, online gaming enables many players to play together at the same time. There is constant communication between players which teaches them relationship and social skills. It is also brilliant at developing teamwork skills. In fact scientists in the US say playing video games can boost team work by 20%. Gaming requires collaboration. Working together with your peers you can learn from each other, support each other and collectively advance to the next level. Fortnite, NBA2K and Call of Duty are all great examples of how Gaming teaches teamwork. We are always being encouraged at school to work as a group and learn how to work in a team. Just like learning all the lines and performing in a french play but better. Out with French, in with Gaming! - 23 Gaming develops brain skills. Gaming improves how fast your brain works and can improve your hand / eye coordination; very important for every school aged child. When you are gaming the brain is getting multiple messages through your eyes and ears. You have to learn to react fast. Playing your favourite video game can improve your problem-solving skills. You generally need to think carefully before making any move and then try to problem solve your way to the next level making split-second decisions along the way. According to researchers people who play video games frequently can process messages to their brain faster. You need to be able to multitask to be good at Gaming and it enhances your memory skills. A bit like using your memory to learn all the times tables in maths only better. Out with maths, in with Gaming4
Gaming will prepare us for future employment.
The Gaming industry is growing at an incredibly fast rate with Gamers spending over $220 Billion dollars on games last year. Think about all those people that this massive industry must employ to create, develop and sell Games.
e-Sports is the name given to professional competitive gaming. It is so popular it is said to have over 380 million fans. A recent tournament grand final attracted 43 million viewers – way more than any All Black test! The prize money is huge! Winning an eSport tournament can earn a player over $1.5 million dollars. The highest earning player is a German who has earned over $5 million so far. Gaming is the future so we need to get on board and our school subjects need to better reflect our future needs. - 34. Gaming is inclusive No matter your height, your weight, your strength, your age, your race, your nationality, your background or even your favourite colour gaming does not discriminate. Anyone from any background can be good at Gaming. all the people in the fortnite world cup were from different countries and cities.(Closing)
It should be clear to you now that Gaming must be included in our school curriculums because ...Gaming teaches you social skills and improves teamwork.
Gaming makes your brain work better.
Gaming is a massive industry that generates huge dollars for both players and developers.
Gaming is the future so we need to get on board and our school subjects need to better reflect our future needs.
Eliminating subjects that are important may not be the best plan but there can be no doubt that our curriculum needs to change.
Thank you
