Video Games & Technology

 We have been learning about how technology changes over time during our unit on video games.  We spent several weeks learning about past video games, and created several timelines to show how video game consoles, controllers, and graphics have changed over time.  Despite our lack of schema about video games from the old days (and with some important input from parents and even Mrs. Willis,) we were able to explore some key differences between past video game technology and current gaming systems.
Our last timeline explored how graphics have changed over time through Mario, one of the oldest video game characters.

Students noticed many changes in computer graphics.
Mr. Mcmann, a parent from Mrs. Hite's class, came in to share his knowledge of video games on Tuesday.
Next week, we will be looking at where video games might be going in the future.  Stay tuned for some of our predictions- today's second graders could be tomorrow's gaming innovators!
