Computer games challenge the mind in ways that we are just beginning to understand. The logic puzzles in Rubik’s Games, Bejeweled, and Adventure Games like Princess Isabella challenge students to extend their problem-solving abilities in unique ways that are never encountered in more traditional math textbooks. Kids like to think hard and grapple with problems when they get the satisfaction of seeing a puzzle solved before their eyes, or a story extended into new, unexplored regions. We take great care at JES to make sure that the computer games that the children play are appropriate, and do not convey violent themes. |
