Who says playing video games is ALL bad? As an example of real life application of learning, today my son was playing "Math Whack-A-Mole" on the Nook. Yes, its an educational app, but thats not the real win here ;) What I thought was cool is when he told me-
"Oh man, I only got 241 points but the high score was 251. I needed 11 more to set a new high score." This is math in action!
Maybe its just me, but seems this type of unschooled applied learning is much more practical than rote memorization of facts.
