Video games may soon be the new tool in teaching.

"UW researchers say not all video games are a waste of time. In fact scientists say if parents are worried about their child's grades, an Xbox might be the solution. Studies are showing that even the most graphic video games can provide lessons in critical thinking and problem solving. Researchers say it's a theory that could blow away traditional ways of teaching and learning." (Channel3000.com).

The bottom line is that doing is better than being told about something. So can we have a simulation for lecturers to try out various scenarios in the classroom please.
