Teaching with Video Games?

An opinion is something that is based on your own beliefs or views, I would like for you to read the following news article about learning using video games and give me your opinion.  Do you think that this is a good idea, why or why not?  Give me specific reasons why you think this might work and how we would be able to use it in the class room. You and your partner need to take turns reading the article and share with me what your opinion is as a comment.  Don't forget to put down your names (first only).
