7．Playing computer games is getting serious．
Washington teacher Tammie Schrader is so crazy about computer games in education that she thinks they can be used to teach programming skills which will help students in college-starting in middle school．
Canadian teacher Justin Holladay wrote a few simple games to help his students practice math skills，and when they caught on，he started his own company to create more of them．
And the University of Washington's Zoran Popovic got more than 4，000Washington students to master linear equations （线性方程） this spring by playing a computer game for just a few hours．
The growing availability of inexpensive tablet computers and a new generation of young teachers who grew up playing on computers have got interested in games for serious purposes．
"Six or seven years ago，selling games to schools was brutal，"said David Martz of Muzzy Lane Software，a Boston，US company that produces games for publishers such as McGraw-Hill．Now，he said，schools are interested in the promise of games-perhaps because gaming is so much more mainstream．
Software and education companies have tried for many years to combine youngsters'passion for computer games with educational progress，without much success．
Popovic thinks the first efforts to combine games with education fell flat because they were created by commercial companies．These companies were more interested in selling products than seeing students master a skill．
Teachers say there are some pretty good games on the market now．
Holladay，the math teacher from Alberta，Canada，began moving paper-based math games to the iPad，building games that allowed students to compete with each other and giving him instant feedback on their progress．
The games improved the lessons he was teaching，and his students had fun playing，he said．"They were a lot more engaged．"
