Educational Video Games

A recent national report revealed that in many states nearly half of high school students don't graduate. One student who dropped out said he did so because he was bored. I began wondering whether the low graduation level had anything to do with methods of teaching. That is, are we expecting students of the computer generation to be fully engaged in learning with old methods of teaching? Now a survey is out indicating that most kids want educational video gaming in school. Maybe fresh ideas as this one will help hold students' attention in the classroom. I do think as more computer-savvy teachers go into classroom, use of educational video gaming and other new ideas in the classroom is inevitable.
