Austria opinion

A teacher in another school has recently blogged that:

“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things”.

I strongly disagree, because this game teaches us numerous of things such as: New vocabulary,critical thinking,inferences and so on.

This game may just be about finding clues and inferences but it has taught me some new words, for example I didn't know the word schematic until this game taught me it was a word for a detailed plan. Even though I have learnt new vocabulary, there wasn't that much questions asking about vocabulary, for example,what is the definition of a word or what's another word for this word.

Even though I only played this for an hour I have gained more knowledge by a collaborative effort.
