Reflection: Games can often times serve educational purposes. However, before teachers allow students to play games, they
must evaluate the game based on certain criteria. Games should be based on a skill or concept of the curriculum. It should
support learning standards. Games should also provide feedback so if students and teachers can evaluate the progression of
learning. Games should also be able to adjust up or down based on different students needs. Also, the games needs to be user
friendly. The student should just be focusing on learning the content rather than how to push the buttons or actually play the
game. Effective games should motivate students to want to play. They should be equally balanced between fun and educational.
