First, watch the video below about game based learning.
One of the skills you will be required to use in 4th grade is using multiple sources to help you answer a question or write a summary. I have three sources I would like you to use to write a summary about game based learning. First, watch the video below about game based learning. Next, watch the news story about gaming in school. Finally, click the link button below. Read about a 3rd grader who thinks games are the answer. While you are viewing each source be sure you are taking notes so you can write a summary. Your summary should explain what game based learning is and why it is important.

Game based learning is a great way to learn. It allows you to work at your own pace. It's also more engaging and helps the child to pay attention more. Game based learning is a fun education. It's also very important to the child itself. An example is if a child all ready understands a subject then he or she can move on with something else.It's also very important to the ones that just don't pay attention. They can now have fun with what there doing and can also get a better education. I think it's very important to have game based learning at schools.

Game based learning is taking a traditional subject and turning it into a fun game that helps you learn. It helps kids to work at their own pace and to understand the subject. Game based learning keeps kids focused and encourages them to work together to research, solve problems, and compromise. Kids need to make mistakes to learn. But the games let them try again until they are successful. And all kids need to feel successful to keep trying. But the most important thing is that it helps kids to learn while having FUN!

Game based learning is a type of learning game that is played on electronic devices. Game based learning is important because it helps students learn at their own pace. Also the students don't have to worry about failing and getting made fun of. Only you and your teacher know if you failed anything! Third of all it's important because the students will think its FUN and would rather do that than look in a textbook and write stuff on paper. All teachers should start doing game based learning!!!

Game based learning is a fun way to learn using games in the class room. You can learn at your own pace. It is good to fail because you learn from your mistakes. It can help you learn to make good decisions with your groups. Some kids use angry birds to learn physics in class. I do like this program!!!!!!!!!

Do like playing games? Well some play learning games. Game based learning is when you are play learning games and when you are playing you are learning at the same time. A learning game is a game you play and you have to use you knowledge. It is important because you use your mind and not your body. Learning games can be as fun as video games. When playing learning games it is more fun than learning it.

It will force kids to communicate with each other. I allows kids to have fun learning. It will use a lot of video games too. Some of them are like the game angry birds. Others are like physics like the one with the kid talking. Over all i think that game based learning is a great way to teach kids.

Game Based Learning is important because it allows kids to work at their own pace so they won't have to worry about something the class did and they don't get. The kids pay more attention now that they have something better to do other than reading through texts books or taking pop quizzes. The teachers aren't worried now that the kids are getting the work done and understanding it a whole lot better since they are paying attention. Plus the kids are engaged to the learning. And most important it's fun for kids because they are playing games. That's why its important to have Game Based Learning into schools.

Are you tired of boring old worksheets, and your teacher explaining everything to you during a lesson? Then you should tell your teacher to try game based learning! Game based learning is a way to learn at your own pace and play fun, but challenging, multi subject games. Game based learning also explains concepts and makes it to where the teachers aren’t the main learning source, they’re just there to guide the students. Game based learning is important because it has helped a lot of students learn better and stay engaged to what they’re learning about. Also, it’s fun. The students are motivated to win and compete against their friends and I’m sure they’re happy that they aren't able to be copied off of and able to look behind them and see someone looking at their paper. If I had the choice, I would switch to game based learning.

Game based learning is a game system that helps middle schoolers pay attention in class. Also game based learning helps the teacher as well. Not only does it help kids pay attention in class it makes the kids want to come to school. Game based learning helps the kids have fun and learn at the same time. I think if I was in middle school I would want to have game based learning in my classroom. If you want game based learning in your classroom then talk to your School Borad. See if there is anyway you can help and get it for you or your classmates and your school.

What is game based learning: game based learning is a way to take a traditional subject but to teach it through experience and interactivity. Game based is also learning through game play. Why is it important: it is important because sometimes it's hard for kids to remember things because they get bored and distracted. It is boring beacause the teacher is just standing there and talking. With this kids won't get bored and distracted. You also are working and making decisions as a group. You also learn a lot by researching everything. Also you have to learn what to do ,and how to make right decisions. That's what game based learning is.

Game Based Learning makes learning fun. If I was a teacher I would not recommend this. I think having a kid on the computer all day would strain your eyes. My older cousin goes to technology camp and often has headaches because she is always on the computer. I would recommend it if it didn't strain your eyes.
