Using a Wii in the classroom.
I’m not a skeptical sort. I’m up for most things in life and as an educator I believe in the same guideline, otherwise I’d be still doing everything on my blackboard. That’s not to say it isn’t useful but with the technology we have today and some literally at our fingertips i.e. samrt table we would be foolish not to embrace it.
So, I decided a while back to try out a Wii as a possible teaching/learning tool in the classroom and you can judge for yourselves if it’s of educational value or not.
(The first point for example is quite debatable but must be mentioned)

Thanks for sharing these ideas… it’s great to see so many educational uses.
You’ve made me want to take mine into school, even more so than before!

Do take it in Mark, you won’t regret it. I’m taking mine back in during a topic of Film Making we have coming up in 2 weeks as we’ll be using ICT throughout our work quite a bit over the next 4 weeks.
