    I though this website was way cool! It introduces people who want video pen pals all over the world, ready to share their experiences! As a Spanish teacher, I want to give my students opportunities to speak with native speakers, but the site is not specifically for language learners. You can set up an exchange with students from Australia, England, or anywhere else you might want!

  • 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).
