Teachers use games as a way to get students to
think critically and technologically. By creating games as well as playing
them, students need a deep understanding of the technological logic. ELA
teachers in specific use games as an interactive and exciting way to give
students the opportunity to read and practice their comprehension, fluency and
repetitive reading. Games are also used to have students write and narrate and
use those skills.
PHILOSOPHY ON GAMES IN INSTRUCTION:
I think that as teachers, games are a way to
involve all students in the material and skills being taught. Games serve as an
interactive way for students to practice skills of all subjects and to master
material taught in the class. Like all alternative methods of instruction and
practice, games need to be balanced with other kinds of instructional behaviors
and classroom practices. Gaming can easily be differentiated with each student
able to accomplish at his or her level of ability and understanding.
From a student's perspective, gaming is a fun way
to learn! Students may not even recognize how much educational gain there is
from their enjoyable activities. Students who enjoy creating the games can
benefit from such websites and if provided with good options of games, students
can learn a lot while they play.
