Although many students place high value on video games, online games and downloadable games for relaxation, pleasure or something to share with their friends, we believe these games need to have a much greater educational value. For example when a video game is simply about how to shoot a target... it tends to provide no lasting benefit to those that use these programs, and little or no educational value.
However, if video games, online games or downloadable games incorporate an element of fun combined with a constructive educational value then students can learn from these games. Teachers could utilize certain gaming software within their curriculum and parents could encourage educational gaming software to further their child's learning.
