Gaming among pupils

referring to the article that is provided in the adec, i would like to give a little bit of comments and my personal view about it. I would say that i agree that game can give influence on the thinking of the pupils. based on the article, i think the mental and thinking skill of a person can be influenced by playing games. this is because for most games played by the pupils, it really requires pupils at least to think, or at least to plan their strategy. for me, gaming cannot be seen negatively alone as it has something to contribute to the students as well. perhape by playing games, pupils can develop themselves to be a better problem solver and also a good planner in planning their strategy. This is good as at least pupils use their minds and think while they play the game.

what a teacher could do?

perhaps a teacher could also promote the use of game in the classroom. As for example, during the english lesson, teacher can ask the pupils to play games that need some vocabularies in order to solve the questions, games that requires pupils to hunt for items in a certain images. all sort of these games can help the pupils to develop and improve their language especially in terms of vocabulary.
