  2. Introduce Educational computer game is a powerful tool to motivate and help students learning. “ In addition to sporting game, board games, and social games, new kinds of video and computer-based games can be used to support meaningful learning in classroom.” (Jonassen,Howland, Marra & Crismond, 2008) “Young people can learn some skill and concepts that they will need in the future world by playing electronic games when learning and work are integrated with digital image and process in most fields.” (Heeter,Chu,Maniar,Winn,Mishra,Egidio&Portwood-Stacer, 2004)

  8. The suggestion to face the barriers in school Teacher need to have support from school and game computer. The different design for different level of players. The different visions for different time.

  9. The other solution • Modify the commercial game to meet the special learning objective. Some commercial game company will released the old game and provide a open-source for education. We can use some program to modify.

  10. The pitfall of using educational computer game Using educational game is not focus on efficiency. “a large and common trade-off in game is motivation versus efficiency.” (Stephen & Stanley, 2001) Playing educational game is not for win the game.

  11. The end • Educational computer game will be a powerful tool in teaching process. When the educational game market become bigger, more and more instruction designer will participate in design educational game. It will become easy to find a good educational computer game.
