Lately I have been addicted to this game called Angry Birds. Angry Birds is a puzzle game. The point of the game is to "pop" all of the green pigs because they have stolen your eggs. In each level the pigs are behind different barriers. Your job is to shoot these different colored birds (all of which have different abilities) at the pigs while trying to get the most possible points. You also want to try to use the least amount of birds to beat each level.
How does this relate to Visual Literacy? Simple, it is a very colorful and interactive game that involves a great deal of problem solving. I believe even though this game sounds simple and does not have a very strong story line could be a great game to have in classrooms. The strategy and problem solving in this game allow for it to be beneficial to education. This is because it trains your brain and challenges you to think about different approaches to a problem.
