Choose one of the following Hot Topic Debates from Roblyer and Doering book as your blog topic for this week.

A. Should Students Play Games (software) in school? P. 97

Response: I must say that I feel like students should play games and use software in school. I must say that depending on the age of the student (preschool-age), teachers should not use this method as a crutch. As a preschool teacher, I will say that as long as it is educational, I don't think that it is a problem. In this day at time, nearly everything that we put our hands on is technology based and I say, why shouldn't we allow our children to use software in school. To be honest, children in this day and time use technology devices better than I do. I know for a fact that it gives them a reason to explore and eye-hand coordination.  We as teachers, should not use computer software as a crutch. We still have to teach our children/students so that they can have a well founded education.
