The Use of Video Games in Schools

Saturday June 20, 2009
I've been somewhat of an advocate of video games in schools, however, I've encountered many nay-sayers along the way and they certainly have their valid points. But, when research provides evidence of positive impact, one really can't look the other way now can they? Here's a new report from Generation Yes

The research report comes from a consortium of 31 ministries of education in Europe. The study was sponsored by the Interactive Software Federation of Europe. Worth the read!

Very disappointed this type of biased research would be endorsed here. Playing vid games decreases attention span for reading, classroom etc as the brain becomes used to being ultra-stimulated.
