  • Parents: you might be sick of your kids asking to play Minecraft, but consider what the game is teaching them. Talk to them about what they are building and what they are learning. Encourage their cooperation with friends. Where else are they learning some of these skills? Easily put: nowhere. When we encourage the enthusiasm they have for the game, we are also subtly communicating that we like for them to spend time creating, building, and cooperating with peers—values we want our children to develop as they work to reach their post-graduation goals.

    But, what if your cell phone use is inhibiting (slowing down or not allowing) the learning process? I also wonder if there are studies to show whether students learn more with cell phone use or without cell phone use?
