Yes they have games and these are the same calculators the kids are sitting with at their desks. Fortunately kids are not entranced by games that can run on calculators. The novelty wears of quickly.#4: Jen (lightvader) on Feb 8, 2008 [SPOILER]

I teach in a computer classroom, and for the first time, I actually told my students I didn't mind if they played solitaire or checked their email during class, as long as they were quiet. I figure most of them can pay attention perfectly well while playing solitaire (after all, 18 year olds today grew up with cell phones and I-pods), and if they don't pay attention, it's their own loss. I'm certainly not going to force them. Generally, I just try to be interesting enough that they pay me some attention, too!#6: Gypso (Gypso) on Feb 9, 2008 [SPOILER]

Yes perhaps Jan.#10: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jul 3, 2008
Wow. Jan wrote way too much for me to read, with a bit too much information. I thought I was done reading when I graduated. :-)#11: Bionerd (nieboo) on Aug 11, 2008
Graduated what?#12: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Aug 11, 2008
Kindergarten, what else?#13: Bionerd (nieboo) on Aug 12, 2008
That makes sense. :)#14: Byrdie (byrdie) on Nov 24, 2008
My college room mate had a TI that you could program games into and then play them. The problem was no storage so that it needed to be reprogrammed each time you wanted to play game.#15: Glenn Crider (playamonkey) on Jul 14, 2019
My dad bought me a programmable calculator to use in math class explaining to me that I could program all of the formulas the teacher was giving us. He just shook his head when he saw me programming in games instead. I was never great at math but I did grow up to be a programmer.
