[AndrewH]

I read a very interesting article today in my computer programming class. It discusses how video games in general can be used as a unique teaching tool, and I'd love to hear some of your thoughts.

Hey, If your interested, I wrote a thesis on how video games are good as learning tools and good for you etc.
Its around 25 or so pages, but still very interesting.
Let us know and I can upload it to google docs!
