Gaming

I enjoyed the list of things kids learn while gaming. I do think this is true that there is value to games that translate to life. I am currently in the process of joing a Rotary club to increase my contacts in my community and feel that this is also alot like gaming. It reminds me of those quest games where you have to wander around a town or countryside and you have to click on people to ask them a question and see if they will reveial a clue. Each of these conversations have a goal and there are many steps along the way to fulfilling the quest.

Real Networks has a nice gaming portal as well. It looks and functions very similarly to the Yahoo one. PBSkids.com also has a very nice portal to online games for children.
