Even if you do not have to write the test, just you will have to play Video games! A new educational program is using a popular strategic game called 'Sim City' to increase the capability of children to solve various problems. Glasslab has taken this innovative initiative, told the BBC.

With this goal, gaming technology is being used as a tool for learning. The organization's hope is that even once the traditional test system could be transferred through it.

The game by which students will continue to study, its name is SimCityEDU: Pollution Challenge. This is an educational version of the Strategic Video Game 'Sim City'. Sorted by adolescents favorable, students have to play the role of mayor of a city. In that city they will play the role of an officer in charge. And they have to solve various issues like environmental pollution or traffic congestion in the city. Outside of traditional education, school children can get ideas about social development.
