Learning from Experience "B"

When I visited an elementary school I saw that there were five computers in the classroom. One was the teachers and the other four were the students. However all five were accessible by the students. The students were able to play educational games when they finished their desk work but were not allowed to advance past their grade level. The problem with that is that some of the students were past their grade level and some of the students were held back from the previous year. This means that the students who were able to do work beyond the first grade level were not given the opportunity. This made it evident to me that educational games are made to help so schools should not limit the ability of the student by not allowing them to think and mature to their full potential. Moreover, some of the students did not finish their work and went a head and played the games. The games are not the problem it is how they are handled in the classroom and when they are used.
