Video Games 101

According to this article in PC Magazine, professor David Williamson Shaffer of the University of Wisconsin at Madison is recommending that schools implement the use of video games in US classrooms.  His argument is that it helps prepare students for future employment by immersing them in handling different types of technology.  He has agreements with schools in Madison and Chicago to test his theories.

Do kids get enough access to technology at home?
Should schools be buying an X-Box for use in classrooms?
Do the gains in fine motor skills balance out the mind numbing content of some games?
