Can Grand Theft Auto Inspire Professors?


This is actually a journal article from the Chronicle of Higher Education. It deals with the argument of whether or not video games help learning and literacy of students. According to the article more and more scholars (who once snubbed the idea of using video games to enhance literacy) are now seeing the value of educational video games. What is so interesting to me is it is looking at an older audience and seeing how childhood video play is affecting learning aptitudes of adults.
