Emerging Technology

I think that Spore is a very good way to integrate technology into the classrooms. I would incorporate Spore into a lesson in Science. I think this would be a great way for students to learn about electricity. The student could create electricity as the creature to find the many sources that need electricity. They could also set up colonies that the creature cannot pass through such as glass, plastic, and rubber. I think students would have fun with this as well as learn why electricity is important.
It is good to see that technology can be brought into the classroom especially since so many childen are into video games. Spore is one way the students can be creative and design their own learning tool.
