Playing Computer Games at School

I think it depends on the program your student is involved in. Since the student is learning IT it is important to know how the game functions in order to fix whatever goes wrong with it.

No I dont think like dis.... U must have heard all work n no play makes jack a dull boy....... A little time from 5hours if school given to play computer games is not that bad..... Children learn to play together, share,n learn from each other All dis is a part of brain development only so that us the best part BTW can u plz guide me abt things needed for online teaching

I remember in technology class when I was younger the teacher would give us free time and some of us would play games and surf the web. There's computers in schools so there's no way in preventing a child from playing games there.

It's not weird or strange at all! Games help people learn in ways that are actually more effective than 'traditional' learning methods, because they use a rewards system and they're actually enjoyable. Not only will the student probably perform better in class, but there's also a great chance that they'll actually retain the information much longer than they would if they were to simply study it for a test. It's also more hands on, and involves doing, instead of memorizing rotely. So that also helps with information retention and engagement, and therefore with performance.

A lot of the learning programs involve games. Spelling games, math games. etc.
