While you can implement gaming as part of the school curriculum, it's not exactly easy to pull off because of the associations we have with it.<BR/><BR/>At most you can pull off math questions that have WoW associations, but that wouldn't be fair to those who don't play WoW.<BR/><BR/>The second would be in the stigma of educational games not being entertaining. b ut then, that's more about introducing games into schools than anything else.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, off tangent. I like how your post makes me think though.

I'm not usually a number cruncher but like you said, I really enjoy the mathcraft in this game.<BR/><BR/>(Been reading your blog for awhile now - figured I'd post a comment :P )Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638186793936119673noreply@blogger.com
