Teachers Using Computer Games in Class

conq writes "BusinessWeek has a piece on the ways in which games are gaining acceptance in the classroom. From the article: 'Teachers across the country are bringing certain games into their schools as a way to pique students' interest in everything from history and politics to physical fitness and music theory. Among the most popular are Firaxis Games Inc.'s Civilization games, Take2's Railroad Tycoon, and Dance Dance Revolution.'"

I believe the difference is that those games, I believe, we designed to be "edutainment" titles, and the games that TFA is referring to are mainstream titles (Civ III, DDR, and Railroad Tycoon).
