Opening the door to creativity...at least I'll try

I am excited to be in this class. However it is a bit scary. No talent -don't know how to draw- but I love arts. I am not a gamer - last time I try was like 18 years ago...couldn't pass the first level of Mario. So what am I doing in such a class. The answer might be in Marc Prensky book: "Don't bother me Mom I am learning". Kids (and of course adults) are fascinated by games. Let me illustrate with an experience that happened 1 year ago while I was vacationing in Guadeloupe. I don't know how to use a PS (the sony console) thus when a friend came over with one for a pajama party I was just fascinated. My godson usually break everything he touches and need countless of information to play a simple puzzle (he was 6). When he woke up and saw my friend with the PS he ask to borrow it and for 6 hours non-stop he played; without asking any explanation. Since then I decided I should know more about games. Of course time forbidden, I had never had the time but as I am enrolled in a class I will dedicate plenty of time to the field.
