The European Schoolnet has launched a survey on the use of videogames in the classroom. They are doing it in coordination with the European Federation of Interactive Software. The idea is to see how teachers see the use of commercial videogames in the classroom: its positive and negative aspects, case studies, government policies, the view of experts…
You can see an outline of this initiative at http://games.eun.org/
They are asking teachers to complete a questionnaire on the use of these tools. It is valid for those who use them and also for those who don’t. It is important to know the reasons why they are regarded as something good or bad in the process of knowledge acquisition.
You can fill the questionnaire in English at:

Also in Spanish at:

Teachers filling the questionnaire may win an XBOX360 .
Why don’t you spend 10 minutes there and let European Schoolnet learn on what we think about the use of these products?
