Video games is something teachers fear to use because of their lack of awareness of the new technological tools being implemented around the world, this mostly happens with older teachers from the past generation who tend to be more traditional. But just imagine being able to teach your students through a game known worldwide: Minecraft, A great game which combines the art of storytelling, fine arts, music, video production, and appropriate player engagement to create an immersive, memorable experience of learning. It might be hard at first but after you get the hang of it, it becomes at easy as pie to incorporate the game into your classes.

Video games can enhance reading skills, too. In the game Animal Crossing, for instance, players become characters who live in a town full of animals. Over the course of the game, you can buy a house, travel from town to town, go to museums, and do other ordinary things. All the while, you’re writing notes to other players and talking to the animals. Because kids are interested in the game, they often end up reading at a level well above their grade, even if they say they don’t like to read.
