Learning without the element of fun will not bring about positive impact in pupils' learning. Pupils are children. And when we talk about children, we can never run away from the fact that they are really into fun, enjoyable and exciting activities.
So, I can see that through the use of children software can promote the element of fun in learning. However, the teacher has to play a role in making sure that the content of the software is suitable and useful in assisting pupils' learning. The point to be highlighted here is that pupils should not be asked to play games just to have fun only, but they should also be able to gain some skill or knowledge from it. In other words, the use of software needs to serve as a platform for pupils to strenghten their understanding of skills or knowledge that have been taught to them.
