Answer the following questions by LNET https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb How do you feel about using computer games in the classroom? What have been some of your past experiences using computer games. en-us 2021-08-09 12:57:47 UTC 2024-06-03 05:59:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Orit Arad https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1733493236 Since the Corona, I have been using computer games in my class all the time, every lesson. Especially when I teach on zoom. I find that the upper grades (five  and six grade) are able to play the games on their personal phones (My principal has allowed it), while younger learners need quite a lot of assistance.  Playing with their phones, in my opinion, is much easier and quicker than bringing laptops and tablets to class. 
My pupils love the games (Kahoot, wordwall, quizlet live, etc) and I can tell that  they learn a lot from the games.

I use Memory games a lot to revise vocabulary. Many of them I create on Wordwall or on Learning apps. I use Kahoot and Quizlet as well.

I think using games in English lessons are really necessary, first of all,  because they are fun, they raise the students motivation to learn the language. I also think that games help remember new words, language structures and topics in grammar better. In general, games are a wonderful way to diversify and strengthen learning.  ]]> 2021-09-15 05:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1741731336 Anat Soltz natiklein https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1745012603 I use computer games almost every lesson. It is a wonderful tool for teaching! Pupils are used to playing on their computers and phones at home. By using computer games during a lesson it motivates them to take part in the lesson. Even before I started to use the Zoom I used computer games, for example Kahoot, Powtoon and Padlet. Since the Zoom I took many courses about teaching online with games. I learned how to use Word-Wall, Voki, Vocaroo and many more. It is clear that using these games improve the pupils' interest and knowledge and it is also a good review. ]]> 2021-09-16 05:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1745012603 Jannet Balanovski janneti1964 https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1746067230 As we can see, there are many benefits to playing computer games in the classroom. Planning my lessons, I try to use at least one game as a teaching and learning tool, assessment strategy or motivation. When playing games, my sts' become more engaged in their learning. On my lessons I use, Kahoot, Baamboozle, spelling city, esl games,etc.]]> 2021-09-16 14:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1746067230 Tehila buskila https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1748723907 last year I used a lot of computer games during the distance learning. It was almost new for me because I didn't know that there are so many games and sites. I used to bring games to class but not digitals games.  My students liked the computer games and they participate in the games more than a regular game in class. so I really like computer games and I am going to use them this year in the class.
I used Kahoot , quizlet and word wall.]]> 2021-09-17 13:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1748723907 Irit Keisari https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1749192953 Learning English can be a difficult and frustrating task for children at any age.
I think that using computer games in the learning is an essential key to success. Games enhance and facilitate the learning. Computer games motivate the children's learning, participation and increase their engagement in the lesson.
Furthermore, computer games add an important element of fun and enjoyment.
I always use computer games in my teaching. I teach fourth graders so I use the games mainly to review and practice the vocabulary being taught.
I use some wonderful sites. We like to play computer games, such as: tic-tac-toe, memory games, hangman, find the smiley, quizlet, wordwall, bingo and kahoot (using their smart phones) and so on...]]> 2021-09-17 16:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1749192953 Lorelle Schwartz lorellesch https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1750310940 I sometimes use computer games in the classroom such as kahoot for example.

It's a wonderful way to engage the kids in the lesson, it motivates them and above all- it's fun and helps practicing the new vocabulary/topic learned. 
In the past two/three years I have been using more computer games while teaching. I love(and the kids love it even more...) using Quizlet live and Blooket. From time to time I use Kahoot. Also, the digital platforms of Eric Cohen Books have a quiz show (Hey, Cool) at end of each unit. Though it's not played individually, it is also a nice way of ending the unit. ]]> 2021-09-22 06:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1759151046 Iris Saidof : I use computer games like Kahoot and Quizlet to practice a whole unit vocabulary. I feel that, although, it's sometimes generates too much noise and "balagan", it is still effective. The pupils enjoy competing, and even the quiet children participate. I do it at the end of the lesson, and they are looking forward to it. saidofiris https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1760224617  ]]> 2021-09-22 14:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1760224617 Yael Granot https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1762345531 I love using computer games in my classroom.  Memory games is one of the games I use.

The advantages of using computer games as learning tools include problem-solving, 21st century skills, learning and assessment integration, collaboration and interactivity, addressing cognitive as well as affective learning issues, and motivating students to learn.
I use different computer games during my lessons. The lessons that I taught (and still teach sometimes) in zoom motivated me to find different and fun computer games to use in my lessons to encourage the pupils to participate more actively. I use computer games not only in my zoom lessons but also in class. The students absolutely love them! The games help them practice what they learn, and they are fun.

I found that most of the weaker students are very connected to this way of learning and it's a fantastic way to bring them into a learning. Moreover it's a wonderful way to make a selfe testing about your knowledge. Because of the positive or negative results that you get immediately.

This is a wonderful way to get students involved in the lessons, it motivates them and most importantly - it is fun and helps to practice the new vocabulary/topic being taught.
I think the time I used games a lot was in distance learning(Zoom). Over time I learned many games I was unfamiliar with like Escape Room in Google Docs, CRAM, Puzzles, and many others. I use them in my daily classes and I think the students express enthusiasm that is very important to me. I mostly use them to open a topic or practice a topic at the end of the lesson.

Moreover, there is a great amount of sites which offer different levels so every child can be involved; it is also very motivating. Usually I do it at the end of lesson when the children are already tired. At the end of the day it is also helps a lot when the children have difficulty to be concentrated.

They're especially good for remote learning, but also for during the class.
I have found a really good computer game for my 8th graders that is connected to our book "Thumbs Up". It's a computer game you download for free from Eric Cohen's site (according to the textbook). Each student enters her name, and the games and activities are directly related to the book! The vocabulary games are on the words of each unit. Same with the grammar games, and listening/ speaking activities. What's great is that I don't have to invent the wheel, it's all there for us, and no activity repeats itself. There are great graphics (and sounds), too.
In addition, we use quizlet, liveworksheets, Edpuzzle (I upolad the links to Google classroom, according to the topic or skill). Sometimes a friend in our staff sends a link to some interesting Internet activity and I use it, too. These games and self-checking assignments add a lot.]]> 2021-10-10 06:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1804963038 Dorin Emmer Kendall dorinemm https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/ft8jud2vc7ouxmxb/wish/1810078046 I try to finish my lessons with games, since I think it break the lesson and this is fun and engaging activity for the students. It's also another way of practicing the material taught in the lesson and an opportunity for the teacher to check if the students understand what they have learnt. 
My experience with using games in my lessons is very positive. The students love them and the participation rate increases immediately. Even the weaker students feel more comfortable to participate.

Last year, of course, we used them more because of Zoom lessons. This year we continue such practice. It's very useful: we see our pupils' motivation and willing to take part in computer lessons. Coz it's always a lot of fun. And the same time kids learn and practice their skills in reading, writing, making sentences, words writing, grammar structures.

I think it is very nice if everything works well however, most of the time there are technical issues which take time and efforts to fix.
