ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
Will video games be used as teaching tools in the future
Today video game is being
popular, people who worried that technology
of game
to their children would lead kids to play
games in class were right. there are some games in PC, Laptop, Gadgets, etc can
be playing online or offline in everywhere.
Some games that created to make children learn about something like a building,
race and many other else also can find
easily on the internet.
Martin is in charge of the
Department of Education's Games for Learning program, which will hold a
conference to discuss the future of video games and schooling. Speaking to
Polygon, he said, "If you look at the life of a student a lot of [them]
play on average about 10,000 hours of video games by the time they are graduating
high school. That is almost the same amount of time they are spending in
schools. You can imagine a lot of the time which of the two activities they
might feel more engaged in or more relevant."
Right now, educational games have
some hefty stereotypes associated with them. By bringing educators,
researchers, students, and game makers together, Martin thinks that can change.
"If you can take that
experience of getting outside of school and make it feel just as relevant and
just as compelling when they're in school learning stuff and doing stuff and
doing something that's interesting and educational, that's the bridging we want
to provide."
Play games for learning are just the most recent things to make schools
integrating into video games. Almost three years ago, there is “minecraft” ( a game
about building ) that had been adapted to make teachers easier to give students
a lesson about the historical, scientific, and another lesson to children. Martin believes that
to make learning more interesting and entertaining game can be keys to the
future of education "This is not
just about looking at games because they are cool or they are fun, they're a real
educational solution."
Cloud is part of a community of
educators who love gaming and want to share that passion for helping students learn by introducing video games
in class. Those educators say that good video games can be used as
teaching tools to help students develop an array of skills—from writing and
physics to teamwork and problem solving.
But there are some disadvantages
video games used as a teaching, some
parents believe that it can make their
children have negative behaviors, wasted time, and mental effects.
If a game requires children to kill, slam, or shoot another player, it may encourage violence. It can
make the children happy to doing that. And it can make negative behavior or
can make children to doing something like that in real life.
When the children playing a game.
They felt happy and enjoy, but they will forget
anything like forgot about time. They usually can play 3 – 4 hours per days, so it is can make wasted time.
Games are interesting to be playing, but there are some advantages and
disadvantages of the game. So it will be playing or not it depends on of our self, the game can give a
benefit and it is also can be the reverse side.
