Video Game Helps Math Students Vanquish an Archfiend: Algebra

Video Game Helps Math Students Vanquish an Archfiend: Algebra

The eighth-grade math class at Intermediate School 30 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, sounded like a video arcade on Monday morning as 30 students zoomed through virtual tunnels and zapped competitors with a blue freezing light.
my reaction:
In fact , I have not ever thought about that learning by playing video games can be a useful way. For many examples I have heard before , their creators didn’t build complete systems so that the users couldn’t reach the best learning effects . Beside , I think the games of its kind seems a little bit or very boring for we users because of lacking in entertaining functions . According to the report , to my surprise , the American’s educational institutes and technological companies now improve the quality of the contents and enrich the games to unite learning efficiency and amusement .
However , it also has some flaws learning with computer games . Because of the development of the Internet , many people are indulged in the on-line games and it is very difficult to get rid of this bad habits. Therefore, students may be addicted to the games and spend too much time on the game. They are likely to forget the real purpose when playing this games. For this reason, middle school should call upon not to spend too much time on playing this games and emphasize the meaning of doing the activity. What’s more ,the computer companies should put the video game on the Internet and the school set a limited time which is just open for students to practice.(227 words)
