They can be used for rote learning and/or extension work and can be pitched to any level, hopefully their presence in classrooms is not too distracting for the other students.

I agree that they excite and teach kids skills simultaneously and can be extended into educational learning areas too. But how to move them on from the mind numbing ones and also what to do about kids on games next to kids working hard on essays etc. Would love to see a place in the school where they could use computers just for fun and games away from the academic areas and where they could be "extended" by a teacher who could stimulate their interests on to more intensive and complex ones that will then stimulate the creative or other neurons and learning pathways ! Cheers Suz Mary H @ Sandy VCE Library Hi Suz
