Great article on games and simulation in education

This article, posted at PressI.com, highlights a technology and education workshop at a recent Higher Education Leaders Symposium held on the Microsoft campus. The workshop "examined the ways in which games and lifelike simulations can create virtual worlds that teach real-life lessons."

"Technology allows us to take approaches that have never before been feasible. As all of those things converge, perhaps it isn't surprising that many people are beginning to look at games and simulations as effective learning environments."

This topic must be hot if Microsoft is getting in on the action.
