I think we're starting to see a small shift in the rap that games are getting as far as they are related to education. My father used to teach using video games like Kings Quest when he was a teacher back in the day. Then, games became "bad" and "taboo" at some point. How many of us played "Oregon Trail?" (if that can even be considered a video game by today's standards!)
It sounds like maybe they are coming back to favor, even if just a small amount, in the classrooms now.
