Week 2

Should students play games in school?  Games in the classroom for All Grade levels can be engaging for the 21^st Century students. Not only are games fun, interactive, and social, but they are also great tools for learning.

Games add personality and student engagement to more tedious, yet necessary tasks like teaching math facts, grammar rules and vocabulary, and reviewing for tests.  Our goal as a classroom teacher is to create life-long learners. We want to create an environment to where our students are excited about learning and experience new things in the classroom such as games to add an element of competition, motivates, and energizes students.
