The main benefit of this website is that the games are directly aligned to Common Core standards, so there are games for every lesson. There will be games that all students will enjoy, so teachers don’t have to worry about students not enjoying themselves. The obstacle would be that some games may need more assistance than others. Students may need more direction for certain games, which may mean that certain students are getting more attention, or students may be sitting there waiting for assistance.
