Managing Educational Apps vs Games on Student iPads – Best Approach?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand how others balance educational use and limited gaming on student iPads. In some cases, games can actually help with problem-solving and planning skills, but I want to keep everything controlled and purposeful.

For example, strategy-based games can encourage thinking and resource management if used properly. I was reviewing how such games work on iOS here. to better understand their structure and controls.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to allow selected games while still maintaining a focused learning environment?
