Learning by Playing: Video Games in the Classroom, by Sara Corbet, was about a classroom in New York that learned in an unusual way. Doyle,  the teacher of the class that was studied, taught in a more "understanding the kids viewpoint" kind of  way. He taught the kids using video games which all the kids are used to at home. This matters to me because I think it would be kind of cool to learn with that kind of teaching style. Learning because of video games would be cool because it is a more outside of the box way of teaching. It matters to education because it appeals more to the kids, instead of being boring.  The teacher is trying to connect more to his students to get them to be interested. It matters to the world because, if other classes and teachers did this, then more people would be interested in what they are doing, and more people would be succeeding in life. This class may open up a new way of teaching in the future, and prepare students for new technologies, and new ways of thinking.
