For my generation, the "it" game was Donkey Kong, followed by Mario Brothers. (Did I just totally date myself?) I could never understand the fascination with gaming. Even as a kid it seemed like a colossal waste of time.
These days, Minecraft is the game du joir, and I couldn't be happier. My oldest son, a 5th grader at Brassfield, is obsessed. I love the fact that he is learning as he plays.
The good folks at Scholastic have recognized the learning potential in Minecraft and have put together a parent resource page with ideas here http://www.scholastic.com/parents/resources/free-printable/more-printables/minecraft-learning-home-and-school
Check it out!
