Will Wright and the Creation of Spore

I have a new look at the video game Spore.  I was given the pleasure of playing Spore during this course.  I also learned some background information about the creator of Spore, Will Wright.  I learned that Will Wright takes topics that he is interested in and research them.  After much research, he then turns what he finds into "toys."  I agree with Will when he talks about learning from the Montessori method of teaching.  I agree that trial and error develops better learners.  I like the idea of incorporating games for learning in schools.  Video games are viewed as being so interesting that a person would be thinking about their next moves even when they are not playing them.  The research that Will used in creating Spore shows in the video game.  I believe Spore would be a great resource for teaching students about evolution.
