Farmville in Math??

An interesting headline caught my attention, "Using Farmville to Teach Standards," from the Edutopia RSS feed.  I'm not very familiar with Farmville, other than I know it is an app on Facebook.  I haven't played it so I may be in the wrong position but I'm going to blog about it anyway.  The article states, "The mathematical features of the game provide a virtually unlimited resource for the creation of standards-based lessons for learners who must be over the age of 13 to comply with the game’s terms of service."  I have a hard time believing that Farmville can teach the state standards in math.  It kind of reminds me of Oregon Trail that I use to play in school.  I didn't learn anything from it.  I enjoyed playing it more than being in class but I really didn't get anything else out of the game.  Now, I understand that it may work with elementary standards, but I don't think it would even touch high school requirements.  With that said, I think that a project could be developed that involves Farmville, but I think it would take more work on my behalf, than it would be worth.
