Evaluating+Games+for+Learning

Before using any type of electronic game in the classroom, you should review them yourself. I have suggested a list of questions to use below.

Evaluating preschool and primary electronic games
 * 1) Does it explain the directions out loud?
 * 2) Does an adult need to help the child read the directions?
 * 3) Does it require typing or just the mouse?
 * 4) Does an adult need to help the child play the game?
 * 5) What skills are being taught?
 * 6) What happens when the child gets an answer right?
 * 7) What happens when the child gets an answer wrong?
 * 8) How long does the game take?
 * 9) What kinds of graphics are used?
 * 10) Are there ads on the page?
