In the growing demand of educated youth it is the responsibility of the parents and teachers to give their students and children their space to explore things. Teachers in school should give the students the time to explore the new classroom technology as and when it is incorporated. Likewise parents should also refrain themselves from constantly indulging the child's privacy. At home a child is always pushed to study. Parents don't realise that even children need a break from routine studies.
At school children have no option but to study and study in the pattern that is been laid out by the teachers. They do not get their time to explore the classroom technology and the resources that would benefit them. But for the rescue of students there are teachers like Ross (Teacher in a Cambridge school) who believe students can explore new technology even better and positive on their own rather than explaining it to them. The teacher also believes that teaching with the help of innovative and meaningful games creates a ever lasting impact on students brains.
It is difficult to believe but Ross uses digital game based education in his classroom for educating the kids. He uses the content related games like Diplomacy in the classroom. He teams up people on different computers and plays the game using the interactive whiteboard. Ross says there are many benefits of playing this game because students get familiar with sills of negotiation, the importance of synergy, w to solve any problem collaboratively and last but not the least they also learn how to mind their actions as per situation. After the game it becomes very easy for Ross to explain the difficult terms like synergy, negotiation etc.
