This is dumb. You're going to end up with students who are great at farmville and terrible at anything remotely difficult. In other words, he is rewarding task completion and ignoring self-motivation, discipline, creativity, etc. I've seen

No. I don't need one and I'm not going to develop for the platform. Same reason I didn't get an iPhone or Droid. I am pretty low-tech for a geek/programmer. Still, I'm nowhere near as low-tech as this dude: http://jason.rohrer.usesthis.com
