  • When a student can be so engaged and motivated, this type of learning tool becomes an important part of the curriculum. Clegg (1991) pointed out the most important predictor of learning is the instructional context and not necessarily the actual game, but the collaborative and cooperative learning built into the overall experience, offering an engaging environment for information assimilation.
  • Games create competitive and collaborative situations making learning fun and engaging; meeting the many needs of the students (Weiss & Loebbeck, 2008). During the early grades, teachers spend up to eight hours with their students each day; they could utilize the interactive and social aspects in games in order to realize additional learning in the classroom and use it to support other subjects (Klopfer, Osterweil, & Salen, 2009).

    This study was done at a high school and the evidence showed that doing group activities, discussions, etc. on a SMART Board is an effective tool.

    This source offers a different perspective on plagiarism detection methods, arguing that they cause more harm than good. Students become better at cheating by finding ways around these barrier. In addition to this, there is an atmosphere of fear in classroom, even for those who haven't plagiarized. Instead, teachers should focus on teaching preventative measures, like how to properly cite and research.
