INFOGRAPHICS: The benefits of video games

Video games are bad for you? That’s what they said about rock-n-roll.
-Shigeru Miyamoto

 

We’ve just completed a new project where the students took health information and created their own infographics. It turned out to be a lot of fun, and a great learning experience for all of us.

From Bridget, one of my awesome 8th graders, comes this one about the many ways that video games can benefit our mental, physical, and social health.
