“According to many researchers, children can
learn more effectively when they play video games than when they read books.”
I agree with this statement. I am the mother
of a kinesthetic learner. It is somewhat challenging at times. When he is
moving he seems to have a lot more focus. They also keep his attention due to
the amazing graphics.
I think video games can have
negative effects as well. If we as parents monitor what and how much they are
playing it can be a successful tool. I do not agree with a preschooler playing Call
of Duty, I think this sends the wrong impression to the child. The games should
be age appropriate to be useful. Many children in a digital age find video
games and technology a part of their daily lives and have not and may never
know anything different.
