Online Gaming

Hello everybody!!


So last week everyone seem to enjoy my post about the educational online gaming. A few comments were left about the kind of online games people brought for their kids or websites they used for their students.

This blog will most be more about the other online games that kids end up playing. When I was younger playing games on Miniclip.com was something that I did a lot when i was giving free time. As I got to middle school, downloading became very popular with my generation. Most of the computers in the schools had either Halo or Need for speed Midnight Club. There were times I felt like the whole school was playing one of those games. The kids of today bring their handheld devices to school with tons of games. Now they don't need to use the school computers to play against other classmates. I can only Imagine how teachers and parents feel when their kids are playing games that contains violence and foul language. The impact these games have on certain kids can be either good or bad. Personally I don't think online or regular video games are harmful. I found a video that explains how video games are not as bad for kids.

Educational Online games

Hello everyone,

This week I will be discussing educational online games. There are many websites that have online educational games. Many of them have been around for years. The majority of the sites are not promoted so you wouldn't really know if they are available for kids. Honestly I can remember sites that I used in elementary and middle school. Websites like FunBrain.com and PBS kids are well known when it comes to online gaming

Online educational games for kids have proven to be very beneficial learning tools. These games help kids learn many of the skills needed throughout their early childhood education. Learning games are particularly useful for younger kids and can help build confidence while enhancing the skills needed for success in school. Educational games for toddlers prepare young ones for their first scholastic experience and educational games for preschool students teach kids important skills and concepts required by a preschooler. The kids' games provided here allow children to have fun while they learn. Fun educational games encourage children to keep learning, even after school hours.
This Video will help break down educational online gaming.

Overall I think online gaming has made a huge impact with helping kids learn while playing games. Hopefully they continue to create educational games that will keep the kids learning and having fun while away from school.
