The United States is witnessing a drastic redefinition of the policies and practices associated with “public education.” Discussions around the future of public education are strong on passion but short on actual evidence. We are establishing an open venue- a true public forum to debate controversial and consequential policy issues that will shape American’s future, and welcome you to the conversation.

I like the link, a topic I've always been interested in.
Video games of course give better brains and brain flexibility however, the use must be kept limited and adequate for children. The strategies used in vedio games consequently gives promotions to children caliber.
Just like anything else, video games can be a good thing in moderation.
When I was a kid, I used to love to play video games, and now I work as a programmer. I have to say, video games helped me understand how computers work, and without my gaming experience, I doubt my programming skills would be at the level they are today.
You have compiled a great lists there. Educational gaming can help students, if students are having fun learning, they were able to pick up more and more details. Depending on the interests of every students, teacher can choose from millions of Download Games that can be seen today, which one are they going to include in their lessons to make it more effective.
i like this blog and now let me share another site that is really more attractive and the most important for the online games cesion...
http://www.games.m5zn.com/
Each and every Video Games has different effect based on how it was created. But serious games are formed to teach and give learning to users. People however are confused on the real benefits of this video games, hopefully in the future these controversies will be over.
Wow! Some great information, but I have to agree with happyface- each game has a different effect. Not just how it was created, but also the effect on the child. Even the game preview on the webpage looks like it can be a great tool but for the most part games should be limited to help improve the lesson and not become the lesson. Everything in Moderation! If this proves to be successful more research will still be needed, but I'm glad to see people exploring the field.
