Spore

I really enjoy the idea of the spore and it reminds me of games I played when I was a kid. Incorporating evolution in the process and evolving the activities from there is a cool way to help motivate students to want to learn. This is valuable in terms of helping students become life long learners. Technology is resourceful in that aspect of education. I love wii and having the wii in my class will be so much fun!

I agree with you. Technology is such a useful thing to hook children into the content area being discussed (not to even mention bringing a Wii into the class).

I think the basic idea that learning that is fun is underestimated by many. It is one of the underlying principles of educational gaming. It really is magical when students have fun learning a concept that is a required part of the curriculum.
