Should Students Play Games (software) in school?
Yes, I think students should play games in school, because we as educators increasingly recognize the impact of entertainment software and utilize games as a teaching device. In so doing we are embracing the cultural and technological shifts of the 21 Century and expanding the use of a favorite leisure activity computer and video games, into a critical and still-emerging educational resource. More than just play, entertainment software helps impact knowledge, developed life skills, and reinforce positive habits in students of all ages.
After my students have demonsrrated mastery of the objectives that we have been working on for the week, I allow them to play an educational game on the same objectives to reinforce the concept. They really enjoy playing those games on the computer!

Introduction
Hello everyone,
my name is Bernice Jones. I teach 5th grade in Noxubee County. This is my first class in Library Media, and I must say that I think that this class is going to be very hard. I don't know anything about blogs. twitters,social bookmarks, etc. HELP!
