A study in the UK found that primary school children improve their grades in math and concentration levels by playing online educational games, according to an article published on the BBC last month. Thirty primary school children between the ages of nine and ten, played a game called "Dr. Kawashima's More Brain Training" game every morning for about 15 minutes before classes began. The game consists of several mini-games including reading tests, number challenges, memory puzzles and problem-solving exercises. At the end of the study, children were tested in math and the results compared with a control group. Children who had played the games increased their test scores by more points than those who did not play, although the results of the tests in both groups increased.
So what does this mean? With educational games popping up various manufacturers around the world, an emerging trend. The combination of a child "play" time with education, seems to have positive results. Making learning fun, as part of a game, it increases the desire for a child to learn. Repeat play is more enjoyable than simply working math problems and again, and the concentration required and the child's own competitive desire to win the game, adds to the beneficial results.
Therefore, it is time to buy a computer for your child? Possibly.
The creation of a computer desk and computer in your child's room or playroom can help. Give your child his own space with a computer desk at the right height for comfort. We found computer desks fully customizable to excellent prices on the website Versata.
A team just for your child can be the way to go. To give your own computer allows you, as parent, to block inappropriate features such as Web pages and pop-ups, and download fun games and colorful desktops and screen savers.
Customize your son team area with fun mouse pads or a mouse (Target sells a Hello Kitty mouse for under $ 10). Versata desktop 'computer can also be customized with shelves, speaker platforms, and locking CPU holders and cable management systems that provide a more safe for children.
Stickers can be used to decorate the outside of the screen and keyboard, or using the computer and desk to create a theme room. For example, an aquatic themed room would be fine with an aquarium screen saver, or a princess in the room could have a presentation topic photo slide show of Disney Princess characters.
When choosing computer games, be sure to do your research. Many have been tested and are backed by schools and learning centers. Keep in mind, anyone can put out educational programs, and just because it is said to education, does not mean your child will learn it. Choose games that are age appropriate and that your child likes. Give your child time to play before studying, as increased blood flow to the cortex front (which happens during the game) can enhance memory and concentration of hours later, what ripe for learning.
Although much of what you hear about computers and children is the negative press, keep in mind that computers allow us to do much more than without them and with proper parental control that may be key to giving your child the edge of education.
