My Students

My students are struggling learners who become more engaged when learning with games. When students struggle with reading or writing, sometimes it is easier to avoid the work than try and get it wrong. My students need fun and safe opportunities for learning.

Watching students learn while playing games is a joy.

My students need to develop skills for critical thinking, decision making, and teamwork.

My Project

By playing games, students become more motivated to learn, pay attention and participate in set tasks. Games help students to become a part of a team as well as take responsibility for their own learning. The struggling learners in my classes will be more engaged in learning tasks when playing educational games.

According to research, using games in teaching can help increase student participation, foster social and emotional learning, and motivate students to take risks.

Please help my students improve reading, writing, critical thinking, and social-emotional skills. When these engaging activities are included as options for learning, my students will be more excited about learning.
