Should Students Play Games in School?

My opinion is that some software games should be allowed in school.  I have my students work on games that are academic and teach skills. Students should not be allowed to play games unless it is teaching more than game playing. I can see how they can motivate students by using graphics in software. The software should be used for problem-solving skills.  Students can discover concepts themselves. I think this is much better than piling worksheets in front of them.  Students should have differential learning and the educational game may reach a student who is not grasping a concept.
