Professor pushes video games as teaching tools
A university professor says schools should use video games to prepare children for the work force.
David Williamson Shaffer, an education science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says video games help children master technology, an essential skill for successful careers.
Shaffer, author of the book How Computer Games Help Children Learn, says video games might help the United States compete against India and China, which are turning out engineers and scientists at a faster rate.
