Eduacation and gaming

I think this is a good point that is raised one that i think is correct, although you will never see an example exactly the same as in an online game, but there is sometimes ways to relate things to the online world. I think that why online games are so popular is because they are a cross between reality, and the make believe. I can't see there being every day problems that you face in the real world being helped by the online world, but every now and again I can see this working. However; the other way around I think is more common, there will be tasks in the online games that require you to use a bit of know how and school is the best place to pick that up. There has been a number of times that I can think of when I have been playing FIFA online and done a pattern of play that I learned in practise to break a team down that I had been struggling to score against. I was playing an online game last week and I remember that it was asking mathematical questions to get past a certain stage, I wouldn't of been able to get the majority of them right without the education i have had.
