Fair game?

I participated in a webcast yesterday dealing with kids and gaming and how to incorporate gaming into the classroom. Some thoughts coming out of that webcast:

--Are educational games created to make children WANT to learn, or is learning the "collateral damage" from wanting to game?

--Undoubtedly, the ways in which children learn have changed. What will be the impact of this change in teaching styles? Do we run the risk of creating individuals who can sort through enormous amounts of information and who will lack the ability to explore any subject with depth? Will this modification of teaching styles create the kind of individuals that we would want to create, if we could anticipate the outcome?
