The article doesn't really say how video games will be used. Will it be homework? In school? Lab time? I could see video games being an ok medium for showing examples of things, but I do find the arguments a bit strange. For example it brings up the Rutherford model. I imagine it's outdated or incomplete, but people go get physics degrees where people learn to genuinely understand that topic. It might be disappointing that school can't satisfy a person's love for a specific topic, but schools are supposed to be holistic and introduce you to many ideas. Also, this seems very science focused. I don't see how games would help with literature classes or a writing class, where the primary task is to understand a topic and construct logical arguments to defend a point (I know not everybody's classes were like this). Even in math, I don't really know how much this would help. The main way at getting better at doing proofs is grinding through proofs (which imo is fun and doesn't need a game component).
