TechReflect:
a-Do you think educational games are good ways for students to learn in schools? Give examples that support your arguments.
I think that educational games are a good way for students to learn. Games make the lesson more exciting and children will pay more attention when they are interested. If they are enthusiastic, they are more likely to remember what they learned in their class. For example, there are games on Mavis Beacon that help students type. They can play a game where they must type the letters before the penguin falls off the iceberg. Or there are games for spelling. The student must spell the word correctly before time runs out, or to keep the balloon afloat until it reaches its destination.
b. Other games can help with certain skills, like training the mind to think in new ways and find new solutions. However, there are some games that are completely pointless and a waste of time, though entertaining
