As I have been looking around at apps for Google Chrome for the last few months, I have noticed the number of games that are around and I am beginning to wonder about the role of arcade-style games in teaching (for example) math facts and the transferability of the skills that students develop (assuming they do develop such skills) to other areas... I wonder if students with practice math games for 10 minutes per day would be measurably better at say adding the costs of items in a shopping cart.
It sure seems that such a research study would be a good one for a graduate students somewhere.
