Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0230602525, Paperback)

This book looks at how particular video and computer games--such as Digital Zoo, The Pandora Project, SodaConstructor, and more--can help teach our children and students to think like doctors, lawyers, engineers, urban planners, journalists, and other professionals. In the process, new "smart games" will give them the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a changing world.
