Using GAMES To Teach

Using GAMES to teach? Yeah right!

Making learning fun motivates students and helps them pay attention and stay focused on the subject.

•One reason to promote educatonal games is to encourage students to learn outside of class. Young adults will go out of their way to play games, even a single game, for hours on end.

•There is also evidence that games allow students to focus well enough to learn better. Lepper and Cordova, 1992 have found that rewriting a lesson with a story context combined with a challenge for the student to overcome (in other words, making it into a game) significantly improves the learning performance of children.
