If you have experience with game-based educational software, please take some time to reflect on your experiences.
What aspects of the software have proven most useful for you? What things would you consider removing if you
could? How would you change it?
It was found that there was a consensus among the teachers that game-based learning environments could be very beneficial.
The discussion ranged from issues in supporting collaborative learning and criticisms of existing educational software
to specific recommendations for learning functionalities (e.g., virtual notebooks) and suggestions for dealing with the broad
range of abilities that have emerged at the fifth grade level. Suggestions were also made regarding including capabilities that
parents could utilize and the importance of taking into account the impact of potential gender differences.
