I was reading a post this morning by Dr. Scott McLeod on “Video games and learning: Individualization, simulation, and complexity” (http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2008/08/video-games-and.html). What’s fascinating to me is how the complexities of the games are reinforcing the multi-tasking culture today’s kids are growing up in. They can take more on in less time. I need to do some homework to understand if this has a direct correlation to increased learning capacities, but there is no doubt that today’s online games are learning tools - at least indirectly.

Good to see the Ramos Games folks are looking at the educational value of games for kids!
