The intersection of gaming and learning is an increasingly hot topic in the 21st Centurty K-12 learning community. But, are video games really providing any benefits for helping students in these age groups to learn?

Clearly, establishing the difference between gaming experiences in a school versus a home environment would be a great way to avoid quickly brushing off video games in classrooms as a viable teaching (and learning) method.
