"Textbooks often contain “walls of text” that can be difficult for some to follow, especially as time progresses. It can also be difficult to find the important part of the text and place it into context. Video games have found a solution to this problem"
Response:
I agree with this because sometimes it is hard to remember the context when it is needed and every time it is needed. Text books give you information when it is needed but more of when it is good for the author to put it in the text. When authors do this it makes it difficult for some students to follow along with the text.
The link below is a video about how students are using games in school to help with learning, and skills that are great in the school and real life. The video One teacher ditches books for video games explains just that.
