Astria Countdown to Impact

“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things”.

I strongly disagree with the teacher because this game teachers us a variety of different reading/writing skills. It teaches us to use a much stronger vocab, skim read, critical thinking, inferences and more. It helps to understand how to make inferences/clues to solve a problem. I understand that people might think games are a waste of learning time but there are educational games like this one.
