  1. Jonathan: This source is too old. 2013 is way back. And your source should be a NYTimes piece. Did you search NYT or another reliable news source? Go back and read the Assignment on what is an acceptable source. I have been stressing NYTimes!

    ALso this article (is it an article??) focuses on educational video games such as math games. Well obviously those will help learning. What you were asking in your RQuestion is does video gaming (the type that everyone plays like yourself, NOT educational games) help learning?

    So this source DOES NOT address your RQ.

  2. I did a quick search and I can’t find many sources on your RQ. Maybe that is why you can only find old — more than 10 years old — articles on your RQ. If you can’t find good sources (have you done a good enought search?), then you don’t have a good RQ.

    Should you re-think if you want to do this question?

    I suggest if you want to stay on video games to read this op-ed and think what a better question regarding video games would be.

    It’s a very good op-ed and one that many people were talking about last year when it came out in NYT.

  3. Jonathan have you re-thought your RQ? There are some problems if you can only come up with this one article that does NOT really answer your RQ?
