I'm currently in my 5th year studying in a university in order to become a teacher. During my time here I have personally made use of video games in the lessons I have held during my teacher training and I genuinely believe video games can be one of the most useful tools in teaching.

I have gotten great results from the lessons where I used video games in some form as teaching tools, so saying video games are bad for you is a gross generalization in my opinion. The students have also responded very positively to these lessons.

However, the one thing that one needs to keep in mind as a teacher is that even if video games can be useful in teaching and learning, it doesn't work with every student. Everyone learns in different ways, and the only way to find out the ones that work with each group of students is to simply try as many different methods as you can until you find the ones that work.

Sorry, went on a bit of a tangent there. I could write much more about the topic, but I don't want to give you an essay to read here.
