Games in the classrom and with street children

The BBC (which has been very active recently on game research coverage!) published today a story based on a three year research performed at the Institute of Education ay London University. It is exactly the kind of articles that more mainstream media should be publishing: focusing on how great games can be.
rBut, wait! There is more. There is also a story on how children living in the streets in Buenos Aires deal and learn with videogames. Street children is a widespread problem in the Third World and certainly the issue requires a broad social solution, but it is definivitively very interesting to see how these children, generally with very little schooling, learn to use computers through arcades and internet cafés machines.
