Educational Games: When Entertainment Meets Education

Reality or not, the computer has changed the people in their daily lives. It has changed the way people do their jobs. In addition to the works for many people the computer is also a great tool for entertainment that can be used to play videos, enjoy music or interact with others. In this electronic and information, many older computer programs are even two different functions, as a tool for learning or improving various skills as well as entertainment for the user. These programs are often referred to as educational games or entertainment.

Many educational games for children. When you play these games, kids can learn different disciplines ranging from mathematics to English. Using games to teach children keep them from getting bored easily. Unfortunately not all issues, especially those that are very complicated, can be successfully taught using this approach. But usually the limitations can be dissolved in one way or another in the future. There are other types of educational games that are primarily intended for adults. The variety of these games is so broad.

There are games that are great for learning computer networks. For example, there is a game provided by Cisco that a teacher can help the binary system. The item that was not easy for some people in the past can now be learning with fun.

For investors there is stock-market games so they can learn to invest in equities in the stock market. The Stock Market Simulation game is very serviceable for beginners, because there is no risk or probability of losing money when they do something wrong when you play the game. Some good stock market simulation games use real market data.

Educational games are often used to socialize important things. The one sponsored by the UN-ISDR (United Nations - International Strategy for Disaster Reduction) belongs to this type of games. By using this simulation game about tsunamis interesting people can acquire knowledge of that disaster, for example, what kind of plants are suitable to avoid high waves. With preventive measures stipulated as part of the game can then know how many people can survive the tsunami.

There are many other interesting games that can be classified as educational games, which are useful for learning programming to those that contain topics that are useful to master a periodic table. For most of us, learning and entertainment are two different things separate, but with improvements in computer technology the two activities can be combined in the form of an educational game. Turning a boring tutorial on something fun will be the autonomy of our brain to more easily absorb any subject.
