Week 15 - Using Games for Teaching and Learning

In this lesson we learned about incorporating games into the classroom for students to learn on. Students get bored in lectures and often stop paying attention because of that. By giving them a game to learn instead of a lecture it makes them become interested and want to play the game and thus learn.

This is of course very important information for teachers. Using games to learn is an easy way to grab a child's attention. The more they enjoy the lesson the more they will be paying attention and the more they will take away from the lesson. Games are very important to try to incorporate in a classroom, especially on things that may be hard to understand or frustrating for students.

This website is a wiki that contains information on learning games. The link provides all kinds of games that students can learn different concepts on. I find this site very interesting because most of them sound very fun and I am tempted to try a couple out, it is nice to know that if I do I should be learning something from them.
