Benefits of Educational Games

Nowadays, the computer games are the most spread games in the whole world and all aged children are sitting in front of the TV with that control in their hands and without knowing that control is controlling their brains and making them think like robots. We as teachers and mothers at the same time should do our best to stop our children and students playing these video games and instead give our time to them and make them play educational games that will enhance their memory, activate their thinking ability, develop hand-eye coordination...
If a teacher uses these type of games in her teaching, this will help the learner get higher scores, since they will me more engaged in the activity and increases their learning abilities.
Moreover, these types of games have proven to have a significant effect of students with ADHD and has helped them to increase their skill buildings.
So, as a mother and a teacher at the same time I encourage to use educationale games at school and at homes and see the benefits by yourselves.

    I like this topic because most of the parents and teachers believe that playing games means useless time that kids spend doing nothing. Both of them must be aware of the time their kids spend on games and their type. Games can be educational, adventure, real- time, action and many others. Kids when play games use their senses and challenge their brains to solve puzzles for examples and this can really play a vital role in improving their skills in some way. The responsibility falls to parents who need to monitor the types of games their kids are installing and spending time on.

Introduction to Neo Skinnerian Model and when to use it

  Introduction to Neo Skinnerian Model It is a module of discipline that is concerned with shaping desired behavior. This model is related to Skinner’s new ideas that were taken from him by other writers and used by them to shape students’ behavior in class, so it was not proposed by him.   (Andrius, 2013) It is about behavior modification that teachers need to have in their classes with students in order to have good classroom management especially for young teacher.

Second, the teacher should develop a plan and connect the desired behaviors she/he wishes to accomplish, with the reinforcements and the consequ...

          According to Swami, the child has all the spiritual and material knowledge but it is covered by curtain so the aim of education should be concerned to achieve fullness of perfection.   Education should tear the veil so that the knowledge will shine.
