In the article Integrating
Technology into the Classroom using Instructional Strategies by Dr. Robert
Marzano and co. they touch on how games can be a great teaching tool in
classrooms. There are many online games and resources, which provide a wide variety
of assistance in lessons. Kids enjoy games and I never really acknowledged the
learning potential games could have in the classroom, of course when used
appropriately.
A comment in Dr. Marzano’s article, which
stood out to be the most was when he emphasized the need for student
interaction. He made crystal clear the importance of mingling and open group
discussion in classroom, and lessons and teaching methods cannot always be
technologically based or behind a screen. We still need to make sure as
teachers that we do not neglect or restrict developing the students’ social
capacity.
