The goal of this project is to get more learning games for students. Research shows that learning games can increase grade levels up to 2 grade levels. Students will have fun while learning and will hopefully become life-long learners as a result. Children learn content but also learn important life skills through co-playing games. Through observation of game play, students help each other, and teachers are able to correct many misunderstandings and misconceptions. Even though they only feel like they are playing a game, they are actually concreting math or reading skills.
