Minecraft is the most popular computer game in history, it lets kids create and experiment, and I'm genuinely floored by the stuff mine get up to. They play Roblox and want to make Roblox games so are learning Lua in a simple REPL. My son makes custom Yu-Gi-Oh cards, writes his own comics, and composes music. This is all on the iPad, where, believe it or not, you can get Carmen Sandiago, Number Munchers (how is this not too directly educational?), Oregon Trail, and various LOGO implementations. I'm sorry if your kids aren't interested in the same stuff you are, but with all the love in the world, that's your baggage, not theirs.
