Playing games in class
- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoTo counter my own points being made in this thread ... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1058361 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1058361 Here is an item about using games in class. I note, in my own defence, that they are not being used as motivation to study math (or anything else) but are being used as vehicles for the material being studied. To my mind there is a big difference. I'm all in favor of using games to carry lessons. I am less convinced that the majority of kids would see the games as motivation to study math.
