Virtual Learning Indeed

According to eSchool News online, ..."at St. Bonaventure Parish Parochial School, technology literacy education is integrated throughout the entire curriculum at every grade level. Instead of learning computer basics and software skills, however, every student in the school will increase his or her technology literacy by helping to design and build a virtual reality game."

Personally, I'm a little skeptical about the educational merit of this. At this point in the technology curve, I wonder how much learning bang there is for all the bucks this involves, and how scaleable it is.
