Video Games in the Classroom

I believe that video games would help students learn more information in the classroom because they can get the students attention and keep it. Many students get bored while reading or listening to lecture and lose focus rather quickly. Using educational and appropriate video games in the classroom would be a good thing to include in lesson plans. I do however think that if a game is too educational, then students may not like it. They have to have a good balance between the educational value and the level of fun.
