It truly is amazing! For my son, I use an unschooling method and let him learn about whatever he wants while incorporating necessary skills (math, language, science, etc) through life skills. He really focuses a lot on video games....in face, we are watching a documentary on the history of video games right now. He LOVES this stuff. When your nine year old can spout off facts about the Atari 2600 and the developers behind his favorite games, you see that he is really soaking up a ton of knowledge.
