CNN: video games can reshape education

Scientists call it the next great discovery, a way to captivate students so much they will spend hours learning on their own. It's the new vision of video games.
The Federation of American Scientists (which typically weighs in on matters of nuclear weaponry and government secrecy) declared that video games can redefine education. The theory is that games teach skills that employers want: analytical thinking, team building, multitasking and problem-solving under duress.
