4. The Alan Jackson song, Too Much of a Good Thing (is a Good Thing) was proven false in this case. While response to the games was positive, some students felt there was too much activity in a compressed amount of time. A better cadence is 1-2 games and classes per month vs. per week in the compressed pilot.

The Wave of the Future? The typical college student plays an estimated 1.8 hours a day of video games (Prensky, 2001b ). Understandably, educators want a piece of that! The US military uses computer war games for training for everything from high-level international command coordination to using a weapon (see AP, 2003 and Prensky, 2001b ).

Learning is no game on today's college campuses. It's serious work that many students dread. Yet when those same students play video games like World of Warcraft, they happily spend hours on difficult tasks, and actually learn quite a bit in the process.
