Are
Your Children's Games Mentally Engaging?
Interactive Educational Games May, 2005, by The Critical Thinking Co.™ Staff
For the purposes of educational games,
interactivity should entail more than hand-eye
coordination and a desire to get the top
score. Educational software should require
mental interactivity as well as physical
interactivity. This is where many educational
games fall short: they are designed more
for entertainment value and simply do not
require the sort of vigorous mental calisthenics
that they should.
The Critical Thinking
Co. educational games include
a high degree of interactivity to keep
students interested and then seek to develop
their critical thinking abilities. By mentally
engaging students in this way, our games
keep students interested and focused while
they are introduced to new information
and asked to process it. Students are not
simply asked to identify correct answers
in order to score points.
Interactive educational games from The Critical Thinking
Co. are available for a wide range of
subjects from language and logic to
math and science. Most products are available
in book form or as software if you prefer.
Our products were designed to help students
at all levels of development improve their
critical thinking and learning abilities
in order to perform better in class, on
tests, and in life.
The success of our products is undeniable.
The majority of the highest-performing
high schools in the U.S., as compiled by Newsweek,
have used products from The Critical Thinking
Co. catalog. We stand behind our products
so surely that we guarantee better grades
and higher test scores with a full, money-back
guarantee.
