Unreal Tournament in the Classroom!

Businessweek reports:

"Class, Take Out Your Games
How teachers are using computer games to pique the interest of tech-savvy kids"

"Joseph Durant, a 10th-grader in Washington, D.C., has new respect for what it takes to be the President. Schoolmate Ciara Belle calls herself Cleopatra and feels comfortable talking about ancient Egyptian civilization. Miles away, in Charleston, W. Va., Catherine Carte suddenly believes gym class may be the best period of her school day."

"The one thing they have in common? Computer games are behind their new attitudes. They're all studying at schools that let students use games in the classroom to become virtual Cleopatras, Bushes, or Baryshnikovs."


Today's AE&T 101 lecture is about video games, and I'm currently finishing a book chapter on it.

Here are some of my video game sites:
