The Educational Value of Gaming

The following post and video is a great story about how students are engaged in Real World Problem Solving using video games. The class visited the company Valve and were each given a room to design for their video game. One of the biggest takeaways I got was how the students realized that collaboration is a true workplace skill. They were able to see how what their teachers were doing in the classroom is used in a workplace. Watch the video. I'm new to the video game world - so any information on Valve and ways for students to design basic video games would be great.
