video games.

I think that educators should try to implement technology in lessons at least three times a week. When children are involved and entertained, they tend to grasp the idea of what its being taught.
In my opinion Instant messaging and chats are very successful because it depend solely on individual involvement. I do believe that there are benefits.. to text based communication as well as face to face learning both have their pros and cons but both can be very supplemental.
I do not think that using podcasts increase learning. why? becaus ethere is no interaction. All students do is watch a teacher over the internet which tends to get very boring. When there is no hands on learning majority of students fail to pay attention.

Video gaming does aid in studying it builds knowledge, people tend to learn and grasp info more by actually doing something and It also teaches self regulation.
