Default Learning Games to Go

When I was 13, I went to summer school at a college in Pennsylvania as part of a program called CTY, which is a part of the Johns Hopkins University. If you participate in that, you're considered part of their alumni. Kinda weird, if you ask me, but for the last 20 years, I've been receiving the JH magazine for free because of it. It's got interesting stuff since it's considered one of those good colleges.

Anyway, I got a new issue today and there was an article in it about using video games to augment education. It's really nice to see that there are people who accept the fact that video games aren't going away, so they're figuring out ways to utilize them:

Here's the press release:
