Playing games CAN be educational
A recent study has found that regularly playing the computer puzzle game tetris can boost planning skills, critical thinking, reasoning and language skills. The study followed a group of adolescent girls for a period of three months and also found growth in the brain cortex, which is a sign of increased grey matter.
Sounds interesting!
