Ever notice how students will load and play games as soon
as your back is turned?
I have.
I have fought it for years, and finally "gave up".
Now, I let them load and play for a period of time, then
when I tell them it's time to get back on task, they don't
argue of fuss.
They simply get on task and do the day's assignment.
Wow!
BUT - I feel guilty.
I, as a teacher, feel as though I am cheating them, and
the school board I am employed by.
What to do, what to do.
Do I nuckle under, and keep up the good fight, or do I
use "games" as a motivational tool to assist the student
in gaining an education?
Any suggestions, recommendations, chastisements?

games is always helpful to get back on task..
my teacher sometimes goes off topic for a while
before returning back to the subject at hand..
