Bad things about using games....

There are some bad things about using educational tech. games that go along with the good. Some things that the teacher will have to make sure of is that the games that are chosen have enough educational value to make them and good use of time. Otherwise the students may be having fun but there will be nothing gained by playing them.

Also the teacher may have to do a lot of research on each game before they introduce them to the class. They might even have to try and play the games to once again make sure that there is enough value in them. Also the teacher may run into problems with having the students cooperate with each other while using the games. They may have issues dealing with who gets to play the game first if there is only one copy of the game.
