Week 2 Should students play games (software) in school?

I think that students should play games in school because it gets the students to focus on a topic in the curriculum. I think that it also engages the students and motivates them to learn the information. I think that students can get away from the curriculum with other games, but if the teacher creates boundaries then the student could really benefit from the games! I definitely think there is a difference between playing video games and educational games.
