Hello all readers. Please read this letter but don't spam bellow it i will write my email for more details and discussion.
I'm 30 year old history teacher. I know Paradox games from begining of this studio. I know that people on this forum are mostly very wise and intelligent. They have knowledge and many ideas for many problems. In this letter i have some proposition for open-minded, creative and ambitious people.
I made with psychologist many researches about games and using them in education. In thesedays games are much more valuable in education as we are expecting or expected. Children/Teens that are playing educational games as paradox games, spore, rome and many other are much more creative, open-minded and they make much bigger progress with understanding new contents in many subjects of science in its wide definition. But of course these games weren't create for education but for fun and they are based in history or some subject but main course is to have fun in many realities. Although they are making superb work in education. What if someone or team made eductional programs based on technology of this game.
Imagine program/game that is for example used in high school. Teens instead sitting and staring at the books would play a game for example on biology. Thanks to technology we can create educational system from basic education in biology and ending at medicine on universities. We have a game spore for example and its technology, we have possibilities of visualisations and interaction in games. In place of reading about DNA, children/teens can make trip to bases of DNA- we can make interaction with all contents in subject. Evolution, injuries, eco-life- all that is in subject books can be put into one game/program. Every subject- History, Maths, Chemistry,Biology.... can be converted into game and adventure.
Somebody can ask a question about books...They won't disappear. Whole idea is to create basics for creating new education. To create thought in young people that education is fun. Everybody knows that if we are playing a game about content that we like, we simply read almost everything about it. So simple if there is a passion- book will always return.
Nowadays education looks very poor almost everywhere. Simple- young people are going to work as we are. They are standing there for hours, they have grades and we are earning money- it's the same. But psyche of childs/teens is diffrent. They want to explore, have fun, they have young energy to use.
Of course my idea has offer to people and corporations that are erning money on a games. Whole products used in this system are simple commercial for games created by developers. Developers can use demo versions of products as a small part in a game- for example to achieve some educational goal. Imagine for example program made for history. This game would have rpg/fpp/map and many other formats possible in technology. I know how to convert contents in educational systems to a game. I have many solutions for possible questions. But I need contact with people that can help with tips, cooperation and exchanging ideas and solutions.

This is only abstract of this idea. If you want to know more or if you are interested in helping me with creating this- write.

I think of paradox games as something to get you interested in history, not actually teach it.
 
I think about process of didactics- this is fundamentall. Interest in lerning is fundamentall. Passion stays forever. Psychology+Didactics+Techonolgy= Method. Method is a weapon to achieve goals. Goals are simple and the same: self-confident and happy human, with passions and huge abilities for self-learning -conscious future fo us.
If you want more details or some advice or just to discuss I gave my e-mail.
