Two studies of children’s use of computers at home argue that children’s
early interactions with computer games help to develop a playful approach to computers. This author considers that the use of games facilitates the use and understanding of technology. This has implications in the way that children ap- proach computer based learning tasks.
The central argument of Gee (2003) about what video games offer to learn- ing is the idea that semiotic domains are shared by groups of people, described as affinity groups, sharing knowledge, skills, tools and resources to form complex systems of interrelated parts. Learners gain resources from fellow members that equip them to solve problems. This is the evidence of active learning “the learner needs to learn not only how to understand and produce meanings in a particular semiotic domain that are recognisable to those affiliated with the domain, but, in addition, how to think about the domain at a ‘meta’ level” (Gee, 2003, p. 23).
Players have to understand the meanings of the internal design grammar
and the ongoing social practice that determine the activity. This systemic view makes players think about and critically appraise games as systems and designed spaces (Gee, 2003). According to Squire (2005) videogames create experiences in which learners are immersed in situations in which they think with tools and resources with the aim of complex problem solving. In fact, when games become more complex, they begin to use intelligent tutors, scaffolding, etc.
