When I was 12 I would never have considered designing a city but my daughter did yesterday.

I use adventure games to get students to tease out the real meaning of adventure.

Maybe I need to find out more about these game playing skills.
Parent
Employers will want people with active problem solving skills just like my five year old playing Lemmingsª.

My kids waste hours playing computer games.

I often tell my students that children develop important skills by playing computer games.
