  2. Yes. I learned how to 360 noscope with my online fam. They can also teach you real world problems and how to solve them. Puzzle games even help your problem solving. I do think they can help with real world problems.

    2. I agree. Puzzles are my favorite games. They help stimulate your brain and help you solve real world problems.

    3. I agree with the puzzle pieces, and problem solving can help. And can help some real world problems, but I think if you actually learning puzzle games and doing problem solving, not in a video game, you could do better.

  3. yes it can because of the games like Minecraft education version in which the teacher creates fun challenges and puzzles for the kids to solve.

  4. I guess that some certain video games can help solve world problems if they can teach you some skills that help you learn how to solve problems.

    3. Anna, you should play Animal Crossing, you will notice that it helps you know what a peaceful life is like.

    4. I agree that video games can help you, but I think you shouldn't look at a screen for several hours. But I think learning more skills on paper or some where in real life than from a video game.

  5. I think that it can help if you play the right game it can help the world ,but i don't think that sitting in front of a screen is healthy. When you are in the virtual world you feel like a hero so it can help with peoples self esteem .

    1. That is true, because screens can damage your eyes if you stare at them for too long.;;;;

    2. Maddie added the weird stuff at the end

    3. I agree but eye strain is caused by when you look at a three dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface. So some games do not hurt your eyes.(∩ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)⊃━☆(⌐▀͡ ̯ʖ▀)

      Delete
    4. I agree. If you play to long the screen can harm your eyes. And you if you spend to much time in a game you could get brain damage and get scarred for life.

    5. I agree with you Megan. It probably isn't healthy to be in from t of a screen for that much time. And as you said it can really improve self-confidence if you do well in a video game.

      Delete
    6. I did not Anna!!! You did!!!

  6. I think that videogames can solve world problems. During games people can use and develop problem solving skills. Video games can be great, but if you don't get up and use your skills, and be active, it might as well be useless.

    2. I agree, because if you don't test your skills in a real life situation, then you won't know how to use those skills.

    3. but anna people are getting better at making better screens

  7. I think if it's the games she made in the TED Talk those could be helpful. But some games could just be totally different and don't help. I think video games could help, but looking at a screen for several hours isn't really good for you, but you would learn a lot when you play. I think it depends, if yo play the Oil Spill game, it could help you of what you do with Oil spills; but if yo play a game were you are killing unicorns I don't think playing that for several hours will help you, for the real world.

  8. Yes, they can, because (in certain ones) it can influence you and others to use video game problems and solutions and use those solutions to help solve real world problems. They can really help, like Animal Crossing, in which you can make a house, buy from shops, and live a peaceful life. It shows you what a good community, a good world for that matter, and what they can do to your life. There's no stress at all.

  9. YES! Because in video games like Superstruct you need to solve problems to survive like;finding food, getting shelter, and SURVIVE!(▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)

  10. I think it is possible that video games could help solve world problems. But I don't think it is good to spend a lot of time on a screen. You could use that time to go outside or something else. But I know from experience it is really fun to play video games and I do spend a bit to much time playing video games myself.

  12. yes, in some situations, gaming can be help solve world problem. there are video games that can help solve world problem by teaching the player how to solve world problems. But some video games won't help in world problems like most shooters. I'm not saying that .shooters will not help you at all they can also teach other things like team work
