U.S. Secretary of Education Supports Video Games And Mobile Devices In Classroom
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan talked enthusiastically about using digital tools like video games and cell phones in the classroom on Frontline Digital Nation during a recent interview. By using their mobile devices, kids love to learn in and out of the classroom and we can move with kids instead of against them.

Hi Fiona,
Thanks for the great post!
It is really good to see that the US Secretary of Education supports digital tools in the classroom. Tom Watson, the former UK Minister for Digital Engagement also agrees that computer games are educational. He states computer games can make you “think, focus, challenge and change……”. He is featured on the http://www.gamebasedlearning.org.uk website under posts.(Just enter Tom Watson).
