Keeping the teacher up to date with new technologies
With the technological explosion, it is often difficult for teachers to find dynamic ways to get students’ attention. Therefore, digital games have become a great tool that can be mediated by the teacher to achieve the expected learning objectives. In addition, direct contact with games brings the teacher closer to a new virtual reality, making him more updated.
Cognitive development
Games provide a different approach to the development of cognitive skills, through self-reflection and the interaction of certain sets of persistent skills.
Concentration
The game must be solved quickly and effectively, so concentration is essential to achieve the goals. Working with educational games helps students stay focused and do more.

Inserting games in the classroom may not be an easy task at first, as it requires planning and research on which games best fit the context of the classroom. However, after a long selection, lesson planning becomes more practical and easier for the teacher.
