Are gaming PCs useful for the future of elementary school students? Teaching presentation techniques
In the Reiwa era, programming has become a compulsory subject in elementary schools. Computers are now an essential item not only for adults but also for children.
If even a child uses a PC, they want a high-spec gaming PC like the one used by YouTubers and streamers they admire. You want to play your favorite games such as "Minecraft" and "Fortnite" comfortably. Adults can understand that feeling very well.
However, it is not very likely that elementary school students will buy an expensive gaming PC just because they want to play games. But I still want it! If so, isn't it a good "begging" method to find a persuasive reason and convince them?
This time, we will propose a presentation technique that utilizes data to "convince you to buy a gaming PC"!
A GPU is essential for today's "desired job"!
This time, we will use the "Ranking of occupations that elementary school students want to be." It is data that reflects the times, ranking what kind of occupations modern children long for.
Looking at this 2020 edition, the options unique to modern children, such as "game production" and "YouTuber", which are ranked high among boys, are impressive. Although it is a heartwarming questionnaire result, if you look closely at this content, it is thought that there are many things that children's "want to be" can utilize gaming PCs.
The reason for this is the existence of AI, which will expand further in the future. And deep learning, which is the current mainstream of AI, is known to be compatible with GPUs, which are processors for graphics processing. Unlike CPUs, GPUs are good at simple calculations (parallel processing) that repeat the same process, and are suitable for applications such as video processing and AI.
Now, let's take a look at the ranking of occupations that elementary school students want to be in the future.
Analysis such as match simulation using AI is becoming commonplace in sports sites such as "soccer player / manager" ranked first in the men's ranking and "baseball player / manager" ranked second. Medical care is one of the fields where AI is expected to play various roles in the future, as for "pharmacist" who ranked first for women and "doctor" who ranked in both men and women. AI technology is inseparable from the GPU, and if you aspire to such a job, the value of a gaming PC equipped with a GPU will increase significantly.
In addition, software that uses graphic power is essential in the field of 9th male "architect", and 8th female "illustrator" and 10th female "fashion designer" also use graphic software. increase. When you think about aiming for it in earnest, there will be a big difference in the environment whether you own a gaming PC equipped with a GPU and a high-performance CPU or not.
In other words, the merit of having a gaming PC is very large for modern children to get a dream job. At least we have the data to say so, so whether or not you actually use the related software, why not use it in your arsenal!
Going for a gaming laptop!
Once you understand how gaming PCs can help elementary and junior high school students in the future and how important they are, the next important point is "what kind of product to choose."
In order to increase the persuasiveness, you need a model with a high-performance CPU, memory, and powerful GPU, but if you consider the success rate of begging and household budget, you want to keep the budget as low as possible. Therefore, I would like to recommend a gaming notebook PC as an inexpensive and easy-to-use option even if it is equipped with a GPU. I am grateful that I can use it without buying a new monitor.
With Lenovo's gaming notebook "Ideapad 360 Gaming", the CPU uses the latest "AMD Ryzen 5000 H series" for memory from 8GB to 16GB. The GPU of the upper model is equipped with "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti Laptop GPU", and it is possible to operate games and software that require high specifications comfortably.

With this, there is no doubt that it will be a very reliable existence for young people aiming for any profession. By the way, this is supplementary information, but you can enjoy smooth visual beauty with a 15.6-inch IPS liquid crystal that supports 120Hz. Moreover, it is a model that has a perfect immersive feeling during game play due to the discerning audio function. It's just a supplement.
Use information with passion!
Based on the above information, I have come up with a persuasive presentation plan for children to get their parents to buy gaming laptops.
This is it!
Presentation!
Does the above presentation materials really work for parents with children in elementary school? We actually asked the family members of Eid employees to demonstrate the presentation using these materials.
My daughter, who is in the fifth grade of elementary school, also plays games with her family, so she is very interested in gaming PCs. He told me that he would like to play "Fortnite", which he is currently playing on Nintendo Switch, on a gaming laptop.
Before the presentation, I asked my parents what their impressions of gaming PCs were. A very positive opinion. My mother was a little reluctant to use a PC for playing games, and was of the opinion that an inexpensive tablet PC would be sufficient for studying Office and programming. .
Now let's have your daughter give a presentation to her parents.
Is there any change in your parents' feelings after the presentation?
Father: At first, I thought a desktop would be better, but I realized that it was portable, and that I could use it on a large screen if I connected it to a monitor. Also, although I used Word and PowerPoint in elementary school, I didn't touch graphic software, so it's good to have a PC with a GPU when I want to edit videos or use graphic software. I wondered if it was.
Mother: As the trend of the times, it is said that when a daughter arrives at work, it is a job that does not exist in this era, so we use GPUs to learn how to proceed with work that we do not know. I thought that the environment could not be denied. The problem is when to buy such a PC.
Father: Koei's "Sangokushi" and "Nobunaga's Ambition" were the reasons why we started using personal computers, so I can't deny that I wanted a gaming PC because I wanted to play games (laughs). .
As a result, the opinions of the parents, who were somewhat negative before the presentation, changed to positive ones. If you want to ask your parents for a gaming laptop, why not use this presentation material?
Gaming laptops give children possibilities!
What do you think about the theory that even elementary school students will be convinced to buy a gaming laptop if there is a polite presentation? I think that theoretical negotiations rather than passionate pushes will make people feel that they will surely be useful in the future. I think you will come to use it carefully.
Dads and mothers, if your child wants a gaming PC, please watch over them warmly and kindly, and please consider purchasing a Lenovo gaming laptop out of your enthusiasm!
