Gaming… “provides a competitive environment in
which learners follow prescribed rules as they strive to attain a challenging educational goal.”
Advantages

Useful in a variety of settings
Effective in gaining student attention

Competition concerns…
Levels of difficulty differ for each student
Expense to purchase
Misdirection of student attention
Integration in the Classroom
The use of games in the class room is only limited by the teacher and how they view their objectives.
Games in the classroom can be as simple as logical problems
Or include multiple complex factors
Just don’t let the situation get out of control
